Price of gasoline in California has a lot of factors… like because of mountains, there are no pipelines from Texas. CA uses Middle East oil. Also, due to the way the wind and mountains block in the air, the smog is worse than areas where the wind blows it out to sea (indeed, the opposite can happen when china’s smog blows in). The clean air act has the fed gov force California to lower smog, which is does by changing the gasoline formation during the summer, which is more expensive. Plus taxes! But it is far more complicated than “CA is high tax”.
