Guess again asshole. That can be found at the AAA link I posted earlier.  You got some work to do.

You're the dumbest **** alive.

THe national avg for diesel is 6.51.  CA stupid tax system is to blame for the almost $2 difference.

We're not talking about the difference in prices...we're talking about the price LEVEL.

**** idiot.

the difference in prices existed BEFORE Feb. 23, 2026.

The difference between the US and Ca was about 1.20 cents on Feb. 23, 2026..

Ca. added $.02/ gallon in direct taxes in the interim, and constraints particular to refining product compatible with Ca. regulations  have added about $0.70 cents more.

So conditions peculiar to California have only added 0.72 cents to the price of diesel since Feb. 23, 2026...

But the price has risen by $3.50


Is 3.50 more or less than 2.00?

Now that I have done all the work.

Ok...I saw the pic.  I acknowledge the price.  What about it?  The national avg was 3.81.  The previous week it was 3.71.

So what was the difference between the national average and California?

What you have done is proved my point.  Thank you.  Prices in CA area significantly higher all the time.  A year ago CA diesel was a 1.53 more.  Thanks again.

This would have been done earlier if you were not such a dramatic little bitch.

No...I made MY point......

The bulk of the price increase since Feb. 23, 2026 is INDISPUTABLY due to factors OTHER than California taxes and environmental policies...

This is true whether or not you can be made to understand the arithmetic.

YAWN.

My original point.  Fuel costs in CA are always significantly higher than the national avg.  YOU have done nothing to refute it.

That is what set your fragile ego into a tail spin, Drama Queen.  Of course it is relevant.

That was true when diesel was 4.91 in California. 

It isn't why it is 8.42 now

You are so g'ddammned **** stupid

AI Overview
Diesel prices in California have surged to record highs over $8 per gallon due to a combination of high state taxes, unique environmental regulations, reduced local refining capacity, and global supply shocks

I posted facts.  CAs fuel prices have been about 2 dollars a gallon more than the national avg since 8 months prior to the war in Iran.  Yes, in part, the war is causing SOME of the increase.  But CAs fuel regs and taxxes are the real reason.

Enough with the questions.


High State Taxes and Fees
California tacks on some of the highest fuel levies in the nation.
Excise Tax: State excise tax is 48.2 cents per gallon, plus a 24.4-cent federal tax. [1]

• Sales Tax: A 13% state sales tax (plus local additions) applies on top of the base and excise costs.

Strict Regulations and Refineries

The state's isolated fuel market requires custom-blended cleaner-burning fuels. [1]

• Refining Loss: Refineries have converted traditional crude capacity to renewable diesel. [1]

•  Compliance Costs: Stringent cap-and-trade and low-carbon rules raise wholesale baseline costs. [1]

•  Market Isolation: California cannot easily import replacement fuel during shortages.

Pushing 4.48..

Diesel up a penny for a new record price..
