SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Assembly Democrats are forming a select committee to investigate why the state’s $6-per-gallon gas prices are among the nation’s highest.
Golden State residents are paying about $6.38 per gallon on average, according to AAA. That’s nearly $1.50 more than the national average of $4.97 per gallon.
“The committee aims to answer two basic questions,” Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood, said on Monday. “First, why are we paying so much for gas? And two, how can we stop it?”
