The California Republican Party is helping to organize a repeal of the gas tax increase in California, which went up 12¢/gallon (which is ~3¢/L). They're very worried about how affordable gasoline will be for the state's working poor. I mean, come on, our gas is up to $3.50 a gallon! But considering the somewhat terrible state of mass transit in California, when combined with the housing crisis that means many people can only afford to live 100km+ from their jobs, the higher gas tax is a real problem for the poor.
