California Doing California Things

[Shadowy Man]

I also couldn’t find a reference to $0.65 but saw this:

In September of last year, CARB estimated the now-passed regulations could raise gas prices by 47 cents per gallon, but CARB officials no longer believe that the prices will rise quite that high, however.

So, more like $0.47 and that was last year’s estimate, which is likely too high.

Sure, there are different amounts mentioned but I did say estimated.



A $.47 per gallon increase will be crippling for an awful lot of people. It is entirely unnecessary and is an abuse of motorists.

Ok. I thought you were getting that number from the article you linked. I don’t know on what basis you estimated 65cents.

well, I guess we will see if it really does reach 47 cents as the article is saying that that number is last years estimate and morerecent thinking is that it won’t be that high. At least according to the article you linked.

Now that Trump is going to be President we should see the gas prices drop enough to compensate this increase, yes?

All I see is people whining about the price of fuel while sitting theirs cars on the 405 going nowhere.

If people are on the 405 they have to be going somewhere. Nobody goes on the 405 to go nowhere.

Did you know that building wider roads never help the traffic problem?

It has certainly helped in some parts of LA County and Orange County.

America went the wrong way 70 years ago.
Instead of whining, elect people that will build a mass transit system that works.

Not suitable in Los Angeles. We have some mass transit but the "homeless" use it for shelter and make it dangerous for others to use. Besides, I prefer the comfort of my own car. We need to vote these climate cultists out.

We shall see. Insufferable prick Gavin Newsom has already had an emergency session with the legislature to "Trump proof California".

Still, the people of California have brought much of this on themselves when they voted to increase gas taxes a few years ago. Or maybe they were tricked into it with the usual bait and switch wording on the ballot. But this latest increase will come about through an unelected board of climate zealots.

Does Widening Highways Ease Traffic Congestion?

Susan Handy, professor of environmental science and policy at UC Davis, weighs in on the issue.

Shit. Gas prices raised in one day here 30 cents a gallon. Cry more.

As if they ever cared about abuse.
