California has 30 billion barrels of oil sitting underground. Hawaii has to ship every drop of crude thousands of miles across the Pacific. So why is California at $6.22 a gallon while Hawaii sits at $5.64? The answer is a stack of Newsom-era regulations — and it's costing Golden State drivers dearly.

Sean breaks down the real culprits: no interstate pipelines connecting California to the rest of the country, a proprietary gasoline blend that only California uses, shuttered refineries shrinking local supply, and layer after layer of cap-and-invest fees and low-carbon fuel standards piled on top of already-punishing state gas taxes. The result is a mainland state that somehow manages to be more isolated than an island chain.

California is dangerously close to its all-time record of $6.44 per gallon, and with more refinery exits on the horizon, the pressure isn't going away. Sean draws a clear parallel to Washington State, where similar cap-and-invest programs are already pushing prices toward California territory.
