SoCal gas prices still rising

While gas prices are beginning to decline across the country, they’re still on the rise in California – even reaching a record $6 a gallon average in Los Angeles. 

Why? 

• “California’s high emission standards require a cleaner, more expensive mix of gas, which refineries outside of the state aren’t necessarily producing on a regular basis,” according to the Bay Area News Group.  

• The publication also reported California has “higher taxes for environmental regulations and infrastructure.”

And what are Katie Porter and Mike Levin doing about it? 

Voting for more of the same.
