High Gas Prices, Low Road Quality in CA
Season 2024
Episode 5
The difference between gas prices in California and in other U.S. states? Different policies, including fuel taxes that amount up to $1 per gallon. California motorists are paying the most in gasoline taxes, yet they're driving on subpar roadways — much of which are in unacceptable condition. Dan Walters reports for CalMatters.
