We're paying 20-40 cents per gallon more than we should in Ca and nobody knows why:

Years ago CA decided the gas that fueled the nation was not good enough and they wanted cleaner gas. Scientists came to Sacramento and said the new formulation was cleaner but gave fewer miles per gallon for no net advantage. The politicians did not care. They wanted their name on cleaner gas. Too bad for the working stiff that drove to work. The politicians that CA voters elect have not cared that your gas is more expensive. The left thinks gas is still too cheap. If it cost enough alternatives would be more viable. 
It would probably cost more today if Trump had not increased our production.

You should pay twice that, you are destroying the environment. 

It is what it is...

I think the economy would take a big hit if the price of fuel doubled. A lot of people would lose their jobs.

Do you think doubling the price of fuel would cost some jobs, but that helping the environment is more important than the jobs lost?
