Supervisor Jim_Desmond has written the Board of Supervisors a letter requesting they temporarily suspend California's gas tax for one year. Desmond is the first San Diego County Supervisor to take action to decrease the record high gas prices.
SAN DIEGO – The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose 5.6 cents Monday, to $5.383 — its 18th record high in the past 20 days.
Oil industry analysts attribute the price spike to the possibility of a supply shortage because traders, shippers, insurance companies and banks are avoiding Russian oil transactions for fear of running afoul of Western sanctions. To make matters worse, Californians pay the highest taxed and fees per gallon of gas in the entire country.Elected Democrats of all levels in California have avoided speaking about the issue, and there is no sign of a natural price decrease coming in the short term.
