A proposed change to California's low carbon fuel standard could increase gas prices by as much as 47 cents per gallon, according to an independent analysis. Republican lawmakers are urging the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to delay a vote on the proposal until after the election.
California ns already paying the highest gas prices in the country could have another tax hike headed their way, if proposed changes to the state's low carbon fuel standard are adopted. The California Air Resources Board — which consists of board members appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-controlled legislature — is scheduled to vote just days after the election on a new proposal that would lower carbon emissions faster, but increase the cost of petroleum refineries.
chair Liane Randolph, Ochoa Bogh and Assemblymember Greg Wallis noted that Californians currently pay $1.50 more per gallon than the national average, and initially estimated a 47-cent-per-gallon increase in gas prices for public comment, but retracted the estimate after receiving massive backlash.
