Liberals is why gasoline is going up. CA has Moonbeam, no brains, Brown and his band of Liberal wackjobs forcing their dictatorship on the citizens of CA.

Not only is the gasoline going up, but everything that is bought in the stores. CA bend over courtesy of the RAT Liberal dictators.

Everything Liberals touch turns to feces.

We have high road taxes because of all the tourism, to fix roads and infrastructure.

No state income tax, though...............plus sales taxes do not apply to food or medicines............

“And gas prices are projected to rise even more going into the summer in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.”

The real purpose of this article is to blame Trump for high gas prices.

It is not Trump’s fault that Californians pay so much. It’s the Californians’ fault. Nice try, fake news.

No state income tax in Tennessee, either. Tax the tourists, they’re in a spending mood anyway.

Gas prices are going up. As Ford has announced their decision to stop making cars.

What short sighted stupidity! Do they not remember the gas crisis of the 1970’s? And just 10 years ago, gas prices were 4 and 5 bucks a gallon across the country.

Yes, people are happy as hell with their trucks and SUV’s right now. But when gas goes to 4 and 5 bucks a gallon again - Ford will not have the cars people want.

Oh well. Who wants a Ford car now, anyway? Folks who want a dependable small car buy Korean and Japanese.

Canada is adorable, as are other even more consumer killing socialist states:
Iceland, Norway, England and New Zealand gasoline “petrol” prices are pegged at $8 / US gallon, ie: $2 / litre.

In case you haven’t heard - the goal is to kill the US Petrodollar value and jack up harmonize oil prices, then central banks do a hard reset.
Interesting times ahead!

“That’s why I drive a 2015 Honda Fit EX. I want to drive a car that won’t burn a hole in my wallet every time I fill up.”

I want to drive a car that wont get overlooked and pancaked by a truck. Or wheel lost in our behemoth potholes.

People are more distracted these days than ever and I would be terrified to drive a small car on the highway. Only in cities at low speeds do they make sense.

GREED AND PRICE GOUGING.

President Trump and Congress need to nip this baloney in the bud. There is no reason for this except for the fact that the economy is finally starting to rebound.

I don't have to travel much on the roads. A new Yamaha SR400 gives me 66 MPG on regular gas. It's light and fun. If I need the freeway, the Harley Fat Bob nets 49 MPG on premium gas. Kawasaki Versys, 53 MPG on premium gas. Our 2015 F150 4x4 CrewCab is getting 23 MPG on ethanol free regular. In terms of cost per passenger-mile, the F150 comes close to the Fat Bob that gets ridden solo. F150 is usually moving with two occupants.

I was rear ended by a guy in a Camry a couple of years ago. He hit me at about 20 mph, I'd guess. I was driving my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. His damage:

My damage consisted of a dent in the bumper:

Most importantly, no one was hurt.

The Brown Family gets money from every dollar of gas pumped in California. Isn’t that nice?

IMHO, I have a long-held belief the next war the US engages in will be one incited by Wall Streeters to defend the petro dollar.

They’re *not about* to give up those sunset views over Manhattan from their million dollar penthouses while sipping Dom Perignon and nibbling foie gras served on toast points.

My 2015 Honda Fit is actually one of the more safe small cars out there. According to EuroNCAP crash testing, the current model Fit (known as the Jazz in Europe) is vastly safer than most larger cars of even ten years ago. We forget Honda has one of the most advanced crash test facilities in the world at their test facility in Japan.

It's funny you should ask...turns out he was a marijuana dealer. Nice enough guy, and he had full insurance, thankfully.
