At the pump, you'll see the state and federal taxes listed. But the reason why we are paying more in California is what you won't see on your receipt.
"It's a hidden cost for basically producing carbon," said Ryan Lansdowne, VP of J. C. Lansdowne. The fuel supplier based in Visalia says they are fees being collected by the state from refineries. He says they are classified as a greenhouse gas standard fee and a low carbon standard fee.
Customers end up paying 35 to 40 cents more for gas, and 45 to 50 cents more for diesel. You may remember an explosion at a refinery in Torrance in 2015. "So it's a hidden fee or tax charged to consumers, but they are not aware because it's not a line item when we go and buy fuel at the service station," he said."The fees are so large and so much, you would bankrupt some of these petroleum companies," he said.from Governor Gavin Newsom to then-Attorney General Xavier Becerra asks for an investigation into why Californians are paying more than 30 cents per gallon in comparison to other states.
"It's costing Californians about $4 billion a year," he said."It seems that spending a few million dollars to figure it out would be a wise expenditure."
