Gas prices in California are to spike 12 cents per gallon across the state.

According to local media outlets, Californians usually see gas prices drop starting in the fall. But the increase is due to a new gas tax that has gone into effect. It will raise prices for normal gasoline by 12 cents per gallon. For a gallon of diesel, a 16-cent increase will go into effect, ABC7 reported.
