An emissions reduction program is forecasted to increase already soaring gas costs by as much as 50 cents per gallon in the next two years in one Democrat-led state.
The California Air Resources Board Low Carbon Fuel Standard 2023 amendments impact assessment released in September found the proposed reforms would raise costs that drivers would feel at the pump.
Gas prices are estimated to rise by 47 cents per gallon in 2025 and 52 cents in 2026, not including the existing gas tax in the state.

Gas prices here yesterday is $3.29 - $3.39 a gallon while a quick check on Gasbuddy shows prices ranging from $4.69 to $5.49 in the area of California I came from.
I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am to have left that State. I hate the fact that I'm paying more than 3 bucks a gallon here, but I couldn't imagine paying more than 5 dollars.
