    I searched the forum and did not find any discussion on this new law.

    BE ADVISED, beginning 1 January 2015, CALIFORNIA's new "Cap and Trade" law goes into effect.
    It is expected that fuel taxes at the pump will increase the cost of each gallon we purchase, between 9 and 76 cents.

    The plan was, is, CALIFORNIA will get a head start on environmental clean up and this is another step to stop GLOBAL WARMING. That is what the plan was. I now have discovered, much of these new taxes will be diverted to Jerry MOON-BEAM Brown's dream, the HIGH SPEED RAIL to no-where.

    Owner/Operators take care and plan your fueling in other places should you decide to run in this state.

    The problem is that whether you buy fuel in California or not, you will still be stuck paying the fuel tax on every mile you run in that state through IFTA. The best plan is to no go there in the first place.

    A high speed rail in any country is about global warming.. in there eyes it cuts back on pollution and congestion .. how the funds are obtained is the question.. oil tycoons ought to pitch in

    I'll be looking at California's fuel prices next month and determine what my bottom rate to go to that state will be...somebody else can haul the cheap freight in and out...I'm in this to make money.

    Shouldn't high speed rail be self supporting? If it's so great and all people should be clamoring to ride and willing to pay. California should use the fuel taxes to fix their crappy roads.

    I am in favor of Global Warming also, I HATE the cold!
