Gas prices at the pump are already the highest in the nation,
costing $1.47 more per gallon than the national average due to
California's high gas tax and the required special gasoline blend.
And with the Governors latest proposals on California's refining
industry prices are likely to go even higher 

CARBs proposal will further increase gas prices by 50 cents per
gallon or more. CARB's own projection last year estimated that
their low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) would increase prices by 47
cents per gallon, yet CARB is unwilling to confirm or update this
estimate and is moving forward regardless. This increase would be
devastating for those struggling to get by with  current prices and
inflation on everything from food to electricity. Everyone in
california with the exception of the very wealthy are already
struggling with California's gas prices and sustained inflation may
reconsider their future in the state if gas prices rise even
further. Even those who don't drive would feel the impact through
increased supply chain costs and potential disruptions further
driving up costs on groceries and everything else that includes a
transportation component. I urge CARB to consider the serious
impact this proposal would have on those who have work for a living
and are barely making ends meet. Thank you for your time.
