The Democrat party owns the legislator for 55 years. They’ve owned the governor ship for 25 years. Two days after the November 2004 election, they voted to increase gas taxes $.60 a gallon on a state that already has the most expensive gas in the country.

On election day 2020, thanks to Trump, the price of gas in California was $2.70. For most of Biden’s presidency gas in California was close to $5 gallon.

Like has happened in the last six presidential election years, gas prices dropped from summer into November due to the election. On election day 2024 gas prices in California were $3.60 a gallon. Today they are $4.40 a gallon. They’ve gone up $.60 in the last week, thanks to California Democrats.

Wait til they increase property taxes to pay for the fires they caused in Los Angeles.

I see a possible uprising in Cali, another exodus or an executive smack down.

This is all your fantasy, as there is no such thing as "the Democrat party." Why are you Republicans so inane?

Yes, since it’s actually “The Communist Party” of America. Why are you commies so radical?

[–] Thaistickers (1597) 24 days ago

The Republicans are more in line with Communism, what with wanting to strip women of their agency, banning books they don't like, making threats to another nation's sovereignty, desire for closed borders. Doesn't that sound a lot more like Communism? I await your "but what about" defense.

What ends up being the price for gas locally in the the u.s/worldwide is a lot more complicated than that.

local net salary and how long people live is a factor.
current War-situations are a factor.

Gas is usually more expensive where drivers live the longest and have net salaries above the median, within a country. Because of this, You can expect California to always be either top or close to the top, no matter who runs it. Because people live very long by U.S standards and also have net salaries among the top 10 states. And you can expect Mississippi to be close to cheapest for the same reasons.

But yes, there is room on top of this to lower or rise the prices, but from early 2023, to early 2024 California is not anywhere near the states with the highest price increases. Montana had a 12,36% increase. California had 4,36.%

The invasion/war in Iraq became very costly for all American drivers, but also Danish drivers. But that affects all areas of a country though.
