Tell Legislators: Stop Rising Gas Prices

Haga clic aquí para español >

 

California’s gasoline prices are the highest in the nation, with nearly a fourth of the cost per gallon going to various state-imposed taxes, fees, and regulations that continue to rise. On July 1, a gas tax increase was implemented and amendments to a statewide fuel standard went into effect – both of which impact fuel prices. In addition, two refinery closures by 2026 and restrictions on energy production in California will likely add even more costs to the price at the pump. According to a new report, gasoline prices could even reach $8 a gallon by 2026. These state-imposed taxes and fees place a financial burden on Californians.

Impacts to Californians:

• Higher Living Costs: Increased fuel prices strain on household budgets, especially for those with long commutes.
• Business Costs: Higher transportation costs for businesses often lead to increased prices for goods and services.
• Restricted Mobility: Elevated fuel costs can limit travel options, particularly in areas with limited public transportation.
