[A CA Guy]

The California Democrat super majority of the state passed last year a new $1.29 (or so) tax on a gallon of gas. When I saw the barrel stayed down and the price came up I thought this was only a California thing and Democrats just using the timing to add some of the new tax to the gallon.

So this was a nationwide rape of wallets instead?

Exactly. Cal sucks. We are going to have 6 to7 dollar a gallon gas soon when a barrel of oil goes back to 100 bucks.

Prices did not rise like that at the begining of the year.
