The average price in the Evergreen State has gone up more than $1 a gallon since the start of the year
It may be cold comfort for motorists in California who already pay plenty whenever they go to the gas station but the state of Washington has overtaken the Golden State for the highest price for a gallon of gasoline in the country.
“In Washington’s case, the government there believes that by increasing the price of a commodity like gasoline and make it more expensive, it will make consumers use less,” De Haan said. “But it’s actually a regressive tax and the poor are hit more than the folks that go can go out and afford a Tesla” or any other electric vehicle that doesn’t run on gas.
Inslee’s office defended Washington’s cap-and-invest program, saying $2.1 billion in money raised from the program will be disbursed into the state budget for climate resilience investments, renewable energy infrastructure and cleaner transportation and energy options.
