Californians pay, on average, $153 MORE per gallon of gas than the national average. On July 1, the gas tax will go up. And, in early 2025, thanks the CARB, an added 47 cents tax will be added. Yup, by Spring, 2025, the cost of gas in California will be a minimum of over $2.10 a gallon more than the national average. Any wonder families and businesses are fleeing the State? Any wonder you pay more for everything in California. Then in ten years with trucks and trains ONLY using electric for fuel power, the supply chain collapses and California will be one of the worst Third World States in the world.
“The big picture: The average price of gas nationally is at $3.60 per gallon, far less than the $5.13 average in California.
- California’s gas tax is set to increase from 57.9 cents per gallon to 59.6 cents per gallon in July.
- The Republican delegation also urged Newsom to work with the California Air Resources Board to ensure that gas prices do not rise by an additional 47 cents per gallon next year, as the board projected in September of last year.
California Republicans push Newsom to suspend gas tax increase
California gas tax is set to rise to nearly 60 cents per gallon this summer.

While their requests have fallen on deaf ears in the past, California’s House Republicans are once again calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to suspend the gas tax increase.
The entire California Republican Congressional delegation sent a letter to Newsom asking him to block the increase that is set to be implemented on July 1.

What they’re saying: “Governor Newsom has failed to provide relief at the pump for hard-working Californians struggling with rising costs,” said Rep. David Valadao (R–Hanford). “My constituents are already paying the highest gas prices in the country, and the fact that our prices are about to go up even more because of the state’s policies is unacceptable. I am once again urging the Governor to suspend the gas tax to lower prices for Central Valley families.”
