According to the Governor's office, the average California driver spends approximately $300 in gasoline excise tax over a year.
We’re proposing $9 billion in tax refunds to address rising gas prices -- $400 per registered vehicle, up to 2 per person. We’re also proposing grants so public transit can be free for 3 months.
Shame o. UsA. That went and bent the knees before Maduro. Venezuela predisent... shame ....
With those fng prices. Who is blocked? Russia Or USS. Looks like we are. Its so stupid
Let’s see … $800 will supplement drivers petroleum costs at $5 a gallon… or about a month’s worth of gas, considering how most of us drive nowadays on Routes 10 or 8. Nice jester, but working on lowering the basic cost per barrel would be THE answer. HELP !
I will believe it, if I ever see it. Promise after promise!! None of my neighbors or friends have received a penny
Well that’ll take care of half of my car registration.
Yeah that’s only going to last about two weeks. Than what are we gonna do? Why not lower the price of gas or raise the wages 🤷🏽♀️
Vs. Putting a cap in gas price.... interesting. gavinatoratitagain
why not just give it to the Fossil Fuel Companies directly since that's who's gonna get it anyway wtf
Can we get same energy with Lyft & Uber since the prices have basically doubled 🥲?
Does your registration have to be current though?
Appreciate to your decision and be helpful for gasoline high prices
400 per car max 2 cars, goes to the person who’s car is registered under… this is only California.. what I see as a joke is the $100 a month they are trying to pass at the senate.. they claim there’s a surplus.. take care of your citizens first.
He given out gas money like ya just drove him to the liquor store to cash his check 😂
Damm I have 8 cars X8. 8,000 HAHAHHAHA really
The answer is to suspend gas surcharges/taxes to “directly” impact gas prices, not wantonly hand out “feel good” $$ to quell the serfdom…
Thats just a band aid..I'd he really wanted to do something he would remove the excessive tax we pay for every gallon of gas.
Even seniors who are non SSI 🤔 cuz us seniors who didn't pay taxes didn't get 💩for Covid Relief
Me n My Niro EV will take this😂
I could definitely use this, considering we pay a lot of taxes on ⛽
$800 for each car?
How about ending the irresponsible state gas tax that’s done absolutely nothing to help or improve California.
CRideshare how and when do we receive this $ or is ir BS? 🤔
So the reason that gas is more expensive in California is due to high taxes on the gas. Newsome’s remedy is to give rebates that will come from the state tax coffers. It seems like there might be an easier middle man here to cut out.
What the hell is that going to do? $400 doesn’t fix the problem.
Too little too late just like your solution to the homeless problem in the entire state which was and is a failure
That's not going far enough to help the low to moderate income Californians who have been paying the high prices at the pump 4 the last few months now
folks complain about EVERYTHING!! good grief Californians, y’all are extremely ungrateful in these comments.
Nothing is free!
WelfareRidersRejoice
I sold my car. This is really NOT FAIR! Everything comes late. But their quick to take money of ours without a hesitation!
That will increase demand for goods & services. Q: what causes inflation? A: Increased demand for limited supply. Good luck California! You get what you vote for.
Why not just stop all the extra fees tacked on to the price per each gallon for California and save printing and mailing costs on issuing checks?
Their really getting in the habbit of just giving money why not change taxes or why not change pricing laws
The first time he has a half a brain
He’s just trying to win your vote next time around. DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN! Unless you like lockdowns and mask mandates that literally help NOTHING!
💸🏎️💨😂 NASCAR NFL NeedforSpeed jimmyfallon wizkhalifa therealjuicyj Need For Speed Movie Trailer In The Parking lots joerogan madflavor LMFAO
perhaps make all public transport free and offer tax credits/rebates for efficient vehicle leases/purchases respectively? handing out more money isn’t going to help inflation, but, lowering the price of goods/services can actually help stretch everyone’s dollar.
Alot of yall who are complaining are still going 2 take the money lol
Woo hoo way to go Gavin !!! 🙌
Great! California surplus money goes to greedy oil companies, and gas prices remain the same. It’s a no win situation. Governor, please keep the money, cut the gas tax!
Basically, give the oil companies more government money.
They wont pause the tax because politicians know voters will hold them hostage at the polls about bring it back. Why not also stop the special california gas mix?
Is it $800 to every registered driver or $400?
How about repeal the gas tax instead Governor!
He can't just lower taxes for some reason...
No. Just cut the gas tax. Permanently.
You would think with all the money we keep 'giving' back, maybe just cutting the tax would be better for everyone; not just for their cars but their groceries and other commodities that are and or effected by fuel costs. 400 or 800 will just contribute to inflation.
Great now mail theft is going to be at an all time high
Guess who's not falling for it!? My husband HenryDesertDeal transitioned|died on Nov 30 2021 waiting for the GoldenStimulus that GavinNewsom office couldn't provide any answers as to why our fam of who at the time 1 was unemployed & other 0 income & disabled didn't get any.
If public transit is gonna be free, it BETTER be reliable.
No other state have this much high price of fuel
Probably gonna tax us on it any ways so it will be paid back with interest
I take it, thank you governor.
Whatever I’ll take it .
Sound like the Gov need to be president
Motorcycle?
How does this work if you are married and both names are on car registration Do couples count as 1 person?
Why does it cost $200 for a plate sticker?
Is this true?
Make it $1200 and use the held back COVID funds states kept for pet projects. We are a “Pet”
Who is going to pay for this?
How about getting rid of gas taxes The taxes that go to pay off Calpers pension fund and nothing else!!!
Get rid of the fucken gas tax!!!!!!!
I have two cars, do I get this twice?
I like this idea. I'm in full support. If Ukraine can get billions, we can get a little $800.
Cancel gas taxes!
Wasn’t California suppose to give back a large sum of tax payer money, anyway? The state is still sitting on a huge surplus of $23 billion+… he should make it $1,000. CA overtaxes people… should be against the law.
What better way to buy votes
Ok cool! But that only lasts for 8 months
Get rid of the gas tax and send me back all my money. We have a “surplus” because we the people have been over taxed.
I keep hearing about this just make it happen
What about people who choose to ride bikes? They still get money?
Uh what
All these comments and no one is wondering where this 'free money' is coming from and how much it will cost in the long run 🤦♀️
that's like 3 full tanks, i am with it
That would be nice. It use to cost $35 to fill my car, now it's more than $50
Is that for immigrants only… please reply….. thanks
c’mon man $8,000 governor. that’s not a joke folks……
How about cancel the ridiculous gas tax instead. Most Californians can’t afford an electric car. His gas taxes hurt the lower class most. What a D recallnewsome
What a complete JOKE
Sweet, know I can buy a new set of Irons and a 3 wood.
My son is a college student in California, I’m a single nothing in another state. How does that help me ?
How about you cut the taxes. We are already paying up to 50% more than rest of the country. That covers not even 1 year of the extra costs I pay compared to most of country
Fricking Putin he is to blame everyone says. Mexico always bought gasoline from USA. The gas price in Mexico is the same as the last 8 months. 😂😂
How long is it going to take 6 months to get approved
Lower the gas tax GavinNewsom.
For people saying to remove the gas tax: 1. That's a (nearly) irreversible 'solution' to a temporary situation. 2. CA constitution REQUIRES the state to return funds to citizens one way or another once the budget surplus reaches a certain level. Same reason we got $$ before
Does everyone not see these D solutions are dumb and inflationary If the state splashes out a bunch of money that does not create more oil! It’s basic economics We need more oil supply to make more gas, not more money to buy the existing limited supply. Wake up.
That's outlandish
Yeah cuz that’ll work.
Wow that sucks for you people who drive with expired tags!!!!!
Well, it's either win, lose or draw!
I thought he said $400? 🤔
Yabba dabba doo! That's me right now!
I didn’t even get the California stimmy lol
Tell me why taxpayers have to subsidize corporate profits again?
Isn't this the same state that won't let you have certain old cars because of emissions? And wants everyone to buy electric?
I'm down with this.
Yes please.
Then why not cut off the state tax on gas like the Republicans proposed last week? They’re all on it they’re hurting us on purpose with inflation out of control rent prices and they know we need to buy gas to get us to work and back smh Newsom needs to get out of office ASAP!
Amazingly stupid half see good half see bad what else is new NOTHING some ungrateful crap never good enough
Cut the tax Gov . Newsom
Or he could crack down on price gouging, but why do the sensible thing when the flashy but ultimately less effective option exists.
Stop your friends from raising the gas prices for their pockets😡
It will never happen. Where is the $1000 tax rebate we were.supposed to get fir the budget surplus. Demoncrats will have to buy votes.
How about just lowering the fckn gas prices! 🤬
Riding my scooter saves me 60 bucks a week. Living the American Dream.
$800 = 8-9 tanks in most cars. So 8-9 weeks of gas? Go fuck yourself GavinNewsom and CA.
Drop the gas tax instead. This is a small price, compared to the increases to come
Why don’t you just remove the freaking tax. Most people don’t know that we pay almost $1.31 in total taxes per gallon. Give us a break and for once do the right thing.
Gas hurts at the pump in your stomachs
How about we stop with the slush funds.
What a joke!
Anyone watch 60 minutes last Sunday I believe it was Leslie Stahl reporting on a gas tax of .30 a gal. and no one knew what it was for.
And then pay it all back again in state tax …solid plan
Trying to buy the voters again?
That includes those that Rent cars?
Keep driving
If you’re gonna do all that why do we ramp up state oil production and just drive down our prices? California is not an oil exporter we shouldn’t have to pay high prices to start with. So why are we?
Wait ‘thought the stimy checks which contributed to inflation which increased sales tax revenue which means we returned the stimy checks. Now more stimy?
Noooooooooo!!!!!! Fix the real issue!!!! Don’t give us a temporary solution!!! SMH!!
Lower the gas tax
Makes no sense
Giving away more fake money that we do not have. Let's just print some more idiot
$8.9 billion of this will be unaccounted for and back into the pockets of newsome & his pals.
I will buy z nekst absolute shitcoin crypto to offset z poberty diss rat newcum heff created
Now that’s funny
Another way to gain votes!! Pass out money
That’s not enough!
Great! More welfare for drivers in a climate crisis. I guess they're not happy with artificially cheap subsidized gas prices in the US.
They are making a killing on the gas tax!
Thank you Governor for thinking of the people of this state of cali…
Maybe just make transit cheaper?
How about the gas biggies give us the break at the pump, they can afford the cuts…
Wonder y inflation rampant, D or R same 💩
Yaay!!!
Can’t wait for this to not happen
Geez, just fatten the pockets of oil company with our surplus tax money. How about look into why we are paying $6 instead?
do it NOW
Or, lower the prices or drop the taxes. 800 won't last very long, especially if gas keeps going up
I just think they need to reduce the tax. Simple!
Just remove the gas tax bitch! .51 cents a gallon lower would help
GavinNewsom you owe us money from the surplus. Making sound like it’s to offset gas prices! Lower the gas taxes if you want to help
For what? To send me the bill at the end of the year? Keep your money Newsome!
But not EVs, right?
typical left bullshit. We'll give you a little bit of money so you'll vote for us again, but we'll still jack the price up on everything. How about lowering the gas tax instead of buying the votes of low income households!!
LeynaNguyenTV What if I own more then one car?
beet2020 Gas prices have always been shit in Cali lol
This left out people who take taxi, pays delivery fees, pays for inflation. The rebate needs to go to everyone, with or without a car registration in CA.
That will be a great proposal, thank you Gov Newsom. Highgate picedgas
Don’t talk about it, be about it already!
Nobody better wonder why inflation is happening…
Make it $1600
Registered owners of EVs be like...
Or…and hear me out on this, we lower the gas tax!
Peeps just gonna upgrade their TV’s 😂
I swear these CEOs need to be kicked in the teeth over these gas prices 😫 🤬
Still voting for whoever runs against him
Drivers already get way too many subsidies.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
By July you say
Trying really hard not to suspend any gas tax.
This is an excellent start. And this is how you take care of your constituents.
He better do it !! Period!! Us mfs work hard for our $$, reimburse us what we have already put into the system!
WOOOOOOOOO
This is absurd. What about those who drive electric vehicles? They have not paid the tax why should they receive a rebate? How about canceling the tax for a year? Would be much easier, fairer and makes logistical sense.
Doesn’t help anything
Believe it when I see it, never got my California stimulus.
Just do NOT send debit cards Have the state send it directly into accounts on file for taxes.
Why does the tweet say $800
Sounds good to me.. I vote 🗳 ✅
Suspend the gas tax you dumb fuck
😂😂😂 people seriously voted for this guy to be the Governor. What an embarrassment
Lmao so bump inflation because idiots will just take the money. That's how we got into this situation. Maybe open up the pipelines and tell the SJWs to get fuhked
