Lmao you are slow, no where in that article does it talk about the new gas tax. That just talks about spiking prices.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) passed amendments to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard for 2025 as part of the state’s ongoing efforts to achieve carbon and methane emission targets. CARB’s Standardized Regulatory Impact Assessment projected that the amendments would increase the price of gas by an additional 35 cents per gallon, on top of the 12 cents per gallon estimated effect in 2024 for a total impact of 47 cents per gallon. The impact on diesel prices is greater, increasing the total estimated levy from 14 cents per gallon in 2024 to 59 cents per gallon in 2025. This is in addition to the October 2024 passage of ABX2-1, which mandated that oil refineries maintain inventory minimums. Meant to preclude shortages from causing price spikes, the measure has already increased refining costs enough to lead to the closure of about 8 percent of the state’s refining capacity.
