The state’s new anti-carbon emissions statute is driving up the cost of gas 13 cents a gallon, according to new data.
Data collected by the Oil Price Information Service shows that AB 32, which began applying to transportation fuels on Jan. 1, is contributing to higher than average gas prices across the state.
“We maintain the effects of this tax have not been fully felt because gas prices have been depressed,” NFIB Senior Staff Attorney Luke Wake told Capitol Public Radio in a recent interview. “But they will go up and people will feel them.”
