Everyone knows gas is expensive.

“What I would like to point out is that CA gas tax is less than a dollar, if we removed the gas tax completely our gas still won’t be $3. In order to get gas down to $3, something needs to be done by opec and unfortunately our state does not have the power to do so.”
