CAWA Supports Fed Up at the Pump Coalition - No New Gas TaxA coalition of business owners, employees, consumers and advocates - known as Fed Up at the Pump - is educating and informing California motorists about a state-agency mandated gas and diesel price hike that will have a negative impact on their pocketbooks, the economy and business generally. Starting Jan. 1, 2015, Californians will pay an estimated 15 cents or more per gallon of gas as a result of a "hidden tax" created by the California Air Resources Board "Fuels Under the Cap" regulations. According to the Board of Equalization, California consumers currently pay 71 cents per gallon in taxes every time they fill up their tanks, which is the highest gas tax rate in the country. The average American pays less - about 50 cents per gallon. For more information go to: www.fedupatthepump.org or contact CAWA's Director of Government Affairs, Jennifer Zins at [email protected] or 916.871.0603.
