So what do you think happens when you raise the taxes on Ford, Wrangler, or General Mills? YOU PAY IT every time you buy a box of Cheerios. Pretty simple - Raise the tax, raise the price.

I love Socal. I go in just far enough for free camping so that I can go back to Az for all my shopping. :)

Doubtful that California's increased fuel taxes will make it to the roadways. I'm guessing PERS bolstering.

Probably to help pay for Jerry's Train!

I would happily pay the ten cent increases if the pot holes I drive on in Wi. every day would disappear!

Be glad you don’t live in Canada. Up in BC the gas taxes are about $1.30 per gallon!

Hey dodge guy, What states are to the weat of Kalifornia.

Assume you mean "west of K" ... Parts of Oregon, Parts of Washington, all of Hawaii, and Parts of Alaska ... :) Just to answer the Q no one else did ... :) :)

Our Stats 10,000,000,000.00 fuel and other tax increase over 7 years goes to offset a 20,000,000.00 aviation fuel tax cut to Fed Ex exclusively, and a new sports stadium for the Mayor of Nashville,and or a raid transit system for Nashville, plus access and road projects for Developers near Oak Ridge, Knoxville, and other places, pay for a 200,000.00 increase in maintenance, to Gov's bud's firm in Chicago, and assorted goodies, in exchange for votes for the fuel tax increase.

All well and good for you...For others, not so good, especially retirees on fixed incomes. Spiking fuel prices will limit travel...

Gee.. what's going to happen to all those spankin' new RVers on the road? The ones who budgeted for fixed fuel prices.
