Why California's Gas Prices Stay So High Heading Into the Fourth of July

  • Californians packing the car for the holiday weekend are paying about $5.40 a gallon — some $1.50 above the national average — and the reasons are mostly structural: the country's highest fuel taxes, a special cleaner-burning blend, and an isolated, shrinking refinery system.
  • Meanwhile, the state's most aggressive tool for policing prices at the pump sits unused.
