Not really true. You were snowed.

Like any statistic, you have to look at the full picture.

California ostensibly *lowered* the gas tax recently; but they *raised*
the sales tax.

To count one and not the other isn't telling the true story.

For example, this is from 2014, but look at the numbers:

"California consumers currently pay 71 cents per gallon in taxes every
time they fill up their tanks. Thats the highest gas tax rate in the
country. The average American pays less€”about 50 cents per gallon."

It's sort of like your phone bill. You have to look at *all* the
taxes and so-called "fees", which, on purpose, they break into
a billion little pieces, just so they can fool people like you
and me.
