"There are 2 gas taxes in CA: Federal and State.
The Federal Gas Tax pays for federal roads and highway repair. But a major problem now is that because high gas prices are causing people to drive less, we're collecting less gas taxes and have less money to repair critical transportation infrastructure.
The State Gas Tax should only go for transportation repairs, but now some people think it should be used to shore up California's growing budget deficit." - justin hamilton

Gas Tax revenues pay for the nation's highways and infrastructure." - justin hamilton
