A group of California lawmakers wants to send a $400 gas rebate to every taxpayer in the state to offset soaring fuel prices

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% :"Notably, we believe a rebate is a better approach than suspending the gas tax -- which would severely impact funding for important transportation projects and offers no guarantee that oil companies would pass on the savings to consumers," the lawmakers wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Los Angeles Times.
20% : Last week, President Biden also banned imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal, which could also raise the cost of filling up your tank.
