CA state gas tax goes up 8% just before July 4th weekend
CA - If you're hitting the road for the holiday weekend, you may be spending a bit more.
Starting today, the state's gas tax will increase 8%, or about $0.04 a gallon.
Although it's going to hurt our pockets a bit, AAA Northern California says it won't deter drivers for the 4th of July weekend.
AAA projects a record of 5.6 million Californians will travel by car.
