@Julia_In_JT@PressSec Okay, here is facts
In November 2024, the price for a barrel of US domestic oil was $68+ about $9 - $10 more compared to November 2025
From your AAA price sheet 12 months prior gas price was even lower, by $0.16, even though the price per barrel was over $9 more
Why is that?
@Julia_In_JT@PressSec The price of a barrel of oil for Brent crude has been trading on average $60 & West Texas Intermediate at $58 for then last 30 days. California gas should be around $3.90 to $4, not $4.60, so yes, my perspective is accurate
@Julia_In_JT@PressSec Also, California went to the winter blend as of October 31st, but gas prices have gone up… why is that?
Because our government wants to mandate us to drive less, but pay more for gas
@Julia_In_JT@PressSec gas tax in California did go up a bit in 2025 (about 1.6¢/gallon on July 1).
The Legislature did not recently pass a new extra gas-tax increase in 2025; the 2025 bump came from a previously approved, automatic inflation adjustment
Yea, it is nominal
