Contributing sentiments towards policy:
54% : Environmental Regulations California mandates a specialized gasoline blend known as CARBOB (California Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending), along with seasonal reformulations and a stringent Cap-and-Trade program.52% : That may not ease public frustration, but it's a critical distinction: California's high gas prices stem from policy, not profiteering.
38% : Multiple investigations -- including those by the FTC, the Federal Reserve, and even the state of California itself -- have found no clear evidence of price manipulation by oil companies.
