Why is gas more expensive in California than in other US states?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Everything is more expensive in California, but you make more money in California.

It's on the internet...One reason is because you have some of the highest gas taxes in the United States. If you add federal and state combined as of 2002 you pay 50 cents tax for every gallon. As the other answer hinted, "ability to pay" does play into the economic reasons for higher taxes as well. California tends to lean politically towards energy conservation which means how can we move constituents towards doing something that is inherently "good for them".

Additionally, California requires a cleaner fuel year round due to higher environmental requirements thereby increasing refining costs. Some states relent during winter months when demand is lower but California does not. Then again, when 60 degrees Fahrenheit is considered winter there is not much of a decrease in demand unlike other parts of the US where snow can leave cars unused for weeks. See related link below.

What congressional district do you live in Michigan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The US House of Representatives home page has a tool to look up your representative by ZIP code (ZIP+4). The result gives the representative's name and congressional district, with a link to that representative's page.

If you're registered to vote, your voter card also gives the congressional district number. On the right side there is a table with 10 boxes. The top-left box is marked USREP, under which is printed your district number. Check the Wikipedia article "List of United States congressional districts" to find out who is the current representative.

Why do some US States have more US Representatives than other states?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because the number of Representives from each state is based upon the population of the state.

  • Because of the state's population.
  • Because some states have more people.

Each US state has two (2) Senators. US Representatives to the Congress are seated based on the population of the State with no state having less then one US Representative.

Alaska is the largest State in Area and has a single House seat. Rhode Island is the smallest State in Area but has two House seats.
