Re: CA SAABers: Double the state gas tax rate?

Yes, I heard that they were increasing the fuel tax in California.
Californians like me are assessed some relatively high costs for the 'privilege' of driving here.
Not only does the state assess a fuel tax on gas, they also apply state and local sales taxes to it, as well. In LA County that adds 9.75%. So, a $3.30 gallon of gas has 30 cents of sales tax built into it.
Registration fees doubled last year, and taxes and fees for the purchase of a new / used car add about 11% to the price, at least here in LA County.
The state's completely broke for a number of reasons and they're doing whatever they can to fleece... I mean, er... raise 'revenue' from the public.
Did I also mention the increased traffic enforcement and confiscatory fines being leveled?
