Gas taxes up 3 cents more in California July 1-

[dano42]

As if they aren't high enough already, our wonderful government here is raising gas taxes due to "inflation"- from 51 cents per gallon, to 54. Just another advantage of living in California (sarcasm meant). Don't mean to be political here, just informative to other Californians.

Ya get what ya vote for.

I had read somewhere that Gavin Newsom was going to roll back state gasoline taxes to help with the inflation burden.

I guess that didn't happen after all.

But it's such a wonderful state with wonderful people. it's not worth the extra tax?

edited to add more sarcasm: but how else would you pay for the features like brown outs and water shortages?

California doing something stupid? I am so surprised, in all seriousness I don't really feel bad for the majority of californians cause as someone else said they get what they voted for. For the smart ones, move to texas lol

Note: San Francisco and LA run the state, not me. I have to say though, in the winter when it’s 70°, and in the summer, when it’s 70°, and I can sit on my back deck and not get too hot or too cold, that’s nice. We certainly pay the price for it though. Paid $6.75 a gallon yesterday to fill up.

I wonder how expensive Vaseline is there.

I wonder how expensive Vaseline is there.

I believe it's a petroleum derivative, so probably twice what it would cost anywhere else.
But if it's used to "lube" a certain "hole" than it might be considered for medicinal purposes, so at least three times as much.

Well now they are issuing inflation relief checks, which will subsequently raise inflation.

Are those like rebates for gas tax paid, or just general "free money".

Well, right there is why their raising the gas tax...to pay for the relief checks !!!
Everyone there grab your ankles for a liberal dose of Vaseline !!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Weather is an important factor to happiness in my life. Wages are higher in nearly every field, so it does offset the price somewhat, but yes. It requires a bit more hustle and mental stability to live in this state.

P.S. @dano42 do you have a SuperCab or CrewCab Ranger?

Trying to push people into EV's....then when 25% of the population is in EV's they'll realize they just lost 25% of their gas tax revenue........then they'll create an EV charging tax.
