Gasoline and diesel fuel prices in California will rise next week because of a big jump in taxes to pay for transportation projects.
Effective Wednesday, the statewide excise tax on gasoline will jump by 12 cents per gallon to 41.7 cents. For diesel fuel, the excise tax will jump by 20 cents per gallon to 36 cents, and the sales tax will rise to 13 percent from 9 percent (plus local taxes). With diesel around $3 a gallon, the sales tax increase works out to about 12 cents per gallon.
Gasoline prices at the pump will rise within days of the tax increase, but probably not by the full 12 cents.
