Gas Prices

I never took to time to learn it but why are yall taxed so hard on gas?
Like every other state is about $2 cheaper.
California has roughly 70 cents in just state taxes on each gallon, the gas is made to a different standard than other states so we can't use anyone else's refined gas, refineries have been closing, one which also coincided with the debacle in Iran so we got screwed twice at the same time, the government has also been adverse to any new oil drilling in the state thus a lot of oil is imported. The list goes on.
 
$3.99 this morning on the way to work, $4.19 not even 10 hours later

But why are y’all taxed for that!?

Seems ridiculous!

It's mainly to pay for roads and transportation, and the cleaner gas reduces the amount of air pollution (needed in LA).

Here's a gas station in San Diego. I'm glad I work from home, but a lot of people drive electric vehicles here these days. There were some huge rebates offered in Cali.
