What are the excise taxes paid on gasoline in California and how are the sales taxes calculated on top of that?




https://www.sandiegouniontribu... about $1.19, IIRC sales tax is not applied to fuel

The deal with where he filled up, and other places like Bridgeport or Lee Vining, is that they're remote. Not many people live there and it's a long haul from anywhere, so it's expensive to truck fuel there. Since it's expensive, people plan ahead and fill up at the last possible point before they drop into that hole, so they don't get very much incidental tourist business. The locals often have storage tanks so they can buy in bulk, etc. etc. so a fuel retailer in those places has to buy less fuel so it doesn't go bad, maintain their tanks more to keep moisture/condensation out... it's fun to talk about the outrageous prices in those places but if they were getting rich, there'd be competition. And there's not. So if your plan is to go there and drive around for a few days, which is highly recommended by the way, you need to plan on a 30% higher fuel expense.

Brent Crude — the best benchmark  for understanding North American retail gasoline prices — has declined to US$78.79 from over $85/bbl a while back.  That should start translating into cheaper prices at the pump soon if not already.  See any evidence of that yet kurtster?  

In passing, $2.969/US gallon is cheap by rich OECD nation standards.  Ronald Reagan's Chief Economist was a fan of much steeper excise taxes on gasoline and diesel.  

——————————————————————

In the realm of pure speculation but keeping in mind I have skin in the game, I expect Brent to further back off near term, perhaps to near $70/bbl.  Then in late 2021 or the first half of 2022, I expect Brent to march back up again.    If the economic impact of the resurgent SARS CoV2 pandemic is worse than I currently anticipate, oil could easily decline towards $50/bbl.  

It would be a mistake to assume that OPEC+ is firmly in the driver's seat on this one.

That said, any successful effort to maintain relatively high and stable oil prices will have beneficial effects for domestic US oil producers and the US economy.

We've never driven from the Santa Monica pier to Amboy on the "original" route. So we got that done.
One of the highlights driving the "surface streets" through Los Angeles was stopping at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Quite unique.
I had Debbie take this shot of the price of gas in Beverly Hills....


 Our goal was the Grand Canyon. And in Arizona we paid pretty much $3.00 less for a gallon of gas than what was posted there in Beverly Hills.
No... we didn't buy gas there.



But they will pump diesel for no extra charge, and it stinks up your hands so there's that.

based on plus gasoline at $6.19:

converting gallons into litres :  US$ 1.64 per litre
converting US$ into euro;  â‚¬ 1.35 per litre

current prices at our local gas station:  â‚¬1.52 per litre or US$ 6.92 per gallon

sounds reasonable then.

A friend took us on an all-day tour of Hollywood area cemeteries. That one's pretty cool. It sold recently and the new owners are doing more to keep it up. "Forever" wasn't actually in the contract, apparently.

I was expecting lots of celebrities stored there.
The only ones that stuck out were Micky Rooney and Mel Blanc. We evidently missed two of The Ramones. Bummer.
What amazed me... was all the Russian people buried there. And the HUGE "tombstones" covering over up to 10+ grave sites.
In fact, Debbie and I "dug into" what's up with that. Here's what we found... https://www.laweekly.com/russi...
