California drivers are set to pay more at the pump as the state's gasoline tax increases by 2.2 cents per gallon on July 1, bringing the total state gas tax to 63.4 cents per gallon. The increase comes as California continues to have the highest average gasoline prices in the nation, renewing debate over fuel taxes, energy policy, and the state's cost of living. California State Senator Tony Strickland told The Center Square's California reporter, Madeline Shannon, that state taxes and declining in-state oil production are major factors driving higher fuel costs. Strickland argues California relies too heavily on imported oil and says his proposed legislation would reduce gasoline prices by 18 cents per gallon, providing immediate relief for drivers. #California #GasPrices #GasTax #TonyStrickland #Economy #Taxpayer #CostOfLiving #FuelPrices #CaliforniaPolitics #EnergyPolicy #Inflation #Taxes #GovernmentSpending #Transportation #EconomicNews
