Don't let big oil lie.

The $1.50-$2 a gallon above the national average that Californians and New Yorkers pay is political bullying and retaliation for not giving big oil their 1st choice bought and paid for politicians and ballot measures. It always has been.

The taxes that taxes California and New York has on gas ⛽️ only accounts for $0.23 above the national average. And California has multiple oil refineries so the cont of distribution from refinery to gas station isn't as high.
