Fact Check: Trump Lies Again About Gas Prices, Falsely Claiming Five States Are at $1.99

  • On July 1, California drivers face the highest gas prices in the U.S., with nearly 61 cents in state taxes per gallon and a $612 annual household burden.
  • The government-mandated gas tax in California now totals $0.61 per gallon, with a guaranteed increase next year, driving record-high prices unrelated to supply and demand.
  • GasBuddy reports no California station sells regular gas below $2.26 per gallon, while AAA states the national average is $3.18, highlighting California's high prices.
  • California households face a $612 annual burden due to record-high gas prices driven by state taxes, intensifying financial hardship amid ongoing cost-of-living increases.
  • More broadly, California drivers face steep costs due to guaranteed tax hikes next year, serving as a warning to other states considering similar policies.
