California Gas Taxes (per gallon):
•State Excise Tax: 59.6¢ — roads & infrastructure
•Federal Excise Tax: 18.4¢ — federal highways
•Sales Tax: ~10% — general state/local revenue
•Prepaid Sales Tax: 8¢ — retailer advance payment
•Total Taxes/Fees: Roughly $1.10+ per gallon
And that’s before profits, distribution, or crude costs.
This is theft.
You pay more in taxes than for the gas itself. Politicians bleed you dry in the name of “infrastructure” while the roads crumble.
