What does CA Cap & Trade cost us?

Governor Moonbeam has instituted Cap & Trade on the oil industry which provides us the gasoline and diesel for our RV's.

I rigorously track all my taxes paid including fuel taxes, for my income tax returns.

Does anyone know how much C & T tax is included in the fuel prices?

    I have no idea how much costs are involved, but I can assure you the petroleum producers will pass on at least 100% any tax as well as the costs involved in tracking and paying any taxes. That is how business works.

    The C & P taxes are on the wholesale level there is no way for you to track them

    Interesting. I have never saw or noticed that. Around here I believe it just states price includes all applicable taxes or something to that effect.

    Most of the time it will be listed right at the pump

    Can't help you with that. All I know is that just a short distance east of our Socal campsites is Yuma. I may go to Ca but don't buy anything. :)

    This is why we do most of our shopping in Reno. And fill up the tank to the top before heading home.
