California is getting even more expensive

On 11/1/2017
The gasoline tax will increase by 12 cents, from 18 cents to 30 cents per gallon

The excise tax on diesel fuel will rise 20 cents, to 36 cents per gallon.

And the diesel sales tax rate will go from 1.75 to 5.75 percent.

    All well and good for you...

    For others, not so good, especially retirees on fixed incomes. Spiking fuel prices will limit travel...

    and probably negatively impact RV sales too.

    Maybe I need to park the Prevost....:p
  • You should care. Sooner or later the states to the east start to filter that same thinking in. And then before you know it you will be paying the same crazy fees and taxes.

    Actually Ca is much worse than the 18 cents, you mentioned. By the time you add up the state sales, excise, and other fees Ca charges over 38 cents per gallon, and now your adding more to that.
    Good breakdown of state taxes only, federal is not included.
