how much is gas tax in california

Hey there!

If you're wondering about the gas tax in California, let me break it down for you.

In California, the gas tax consists of several components. As of 2021, the state excise tax on gasoline is 50.50 cents per gallon, and the state excise tax on diesel fuel is 36.00 cents per gallon. In addition to the state excise tax, there is also a federal excise tax on gasoline of 18.4 cents per gallon and a federal excise tax on diesel fuel of 24.4 cents per gallon.

On top of these excise taxes, California also imposes a sales tax on gasoline, which varies by location and can add an additional 10-12% to the cost of a gallon of gas.

So, when you add up all of these taxes, the total gas tax in California can be quite significant.

I hope this helps clarify things for you!
