California has some of the highest gas prices in the nation but some experts and the governor say prices here are much higher than they should be. Joy Benedict reports.

  1. Because of democrat’s environmental policies and their continue excuses to raise taxes on oil companies. Newson and the other buffoons are meeting again to discuss another tax increase on oil companies so expect gas prices to keep rising. You want cheaper gas stop voting for these democrat clowns!!!

  2. Someone is pocketing that money, uncovering who it is will be nearly impossible because everyone surrounding that person is also being paid out. Just how it works

  3. You people in California are so naive. The problem is not the oil companies the problem is with your leaders and all the BS you people spread when you don’t get your way. Stop drinking the cool aid and wake up.

  4. It's not price gouging by the oil Company it Governer Newsom and the Democraties Party that but Taxes on Gasoline Prices so they are lieing to your Face now it's up to you Californians Voters Elected Brian Dahle or Reelected Governor Newsom if you do nothing will never get better on.less you Elected Brian Dahle

  5. Governer Newsom is pointing at every body that means a Dishonest low IQ Democratic' Moron with his Democraties Party wake up California Voters get rid of the Gavin Newsom and Elect Brian Dahle haven't you had enough of him and his lies

  6. Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.

  7. It's higher because of Gov Gavin Newsom and the super majority Democrat Legislature's self serving gas tax. That along with Joe Biden shutting down the use of fossil fuels in the U.S. Any competent and sane person knows that you can't just suddenly jump from one extreme (using fossil fuels) to another (no use of fossil fuels) in a rush to reach your radical climate change dreams. Since Democrats are to blame, they should be held accountable but just like Joe Biden, Newsom and other Democrats always try to blame somebody or something else for their policy decision failures. It's time for a change. It's time they were voted out.

  8. THEN WHY AREN'T BIG OIL COMPANIES DOING THIS IN OTHER STATES? IT'S THE LIBERAL POLITICIANS AND THEIR LIBERAL POLITICKING. TAXING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING LETTING CRIMINALS RUN FREE THEN PRETENDING TO WONDER WHY.

  9. Man the streets are so clean, electrical grid so dependable, I feel safe on the streets, thank God for the California Gas tax. Govern me harder Daddy

  10. It's not a mystery, CA has imposed taxes, carbon fees and environmental regulations that has screwed its residents; look to Sacramento as to why costs are so high.

  11. Competent journalists would have interviewed a representative of the oil companies. People who actually produce gasoline know more than Greasy Newsom.
