Gas prices are set to take a hit in California, with a new tax hike on the horizon. As of July 1, the state's gasoline excise tax will increase by 5.5 cents per gallon, adding to the already steep costs at the pump. This move is part of a broader effort to fund the state's transportation infrastructure and road maintenance projects. For Californians who are already feeling the pinch of high gas prices, this tax hike is expected to make filling up even more expensive, with the average price of a gallon of gas potentially rising by as much as 10 cents.
Californians' usual headache at the pump will worsen a bit soon.
