Oil giant Chevron is refusing to play along with the Democrat blame game and is directly calling out Gavin Newsom and Sacramento Democrats for the insane gas prices crushing California families.

While homeless meth and crack addicts have been caught plastering gas pumps across Southern California with stickers falsely blaming President Donald Trump for the state’s sky-high fuel costs, Chevron has responded by installing educational signs that tell the truth the left doesn’t want you to hear.

The signs read: “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more.”

And: “California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs.”

This was Chevron’s response to the left’s stickers blaming President Trump.

Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats.

This comes after Governor Gavin Newsom’s office is now openly feuding with Chevron and even urging Californians to avoid the company’s gas stations over Memorial Day weekend.

According to Associated Press reporting, Newsom’s office accused Chevron of overcharging compared to unbranded stations while Chevron has pointed squarely at California’s regulatory regime as the root cause of soaring prices.

In other words: the blame game is on.

AP reported:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is in a spat with a major oil company over who is to blame for the state’s high gas prices, with the Democratic governor’s office urging drivers not to fill up at Chevron stations over Memorial Day weekend.

“Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean,” Newsom’s office posted Thursday on X. “Big Oil is already making billions off Trump’s Iran War; don’t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name.”

Newsom’s office cited an analysis by a group within the state’s energy commission, which oversees the oil and gas industry, that found that Chevron averaged more than 60 to 80 cents per gallon above unbranded alternatives.

Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year. The call-out by the governor’s office follows Chevron posting signs at California gas stations blaming the state’s climate policies for the high cost of gas. The average price of gas in California sat at $6.14 per gallon on Thursday, about $1.58 higher than the national average, according to the American Automobile Association. The state taxes consumers about 70 cents per gallon of gas, according to the state’s energy commission. That is the highest gas tax in the country.

“California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs,” the signs read. They feature a QR code that directs to a Chevron webpage asking people to “speak up for affordable, reliable energy.”

It is not clear when Chevron put the signs up, but spokesman Ross Allen said they are part of a campaign the company launched three years ago to inform drivers on the price impacts of California policies.

“We’ve been very vocal about the importance of customer education in California so that our drivers and our consumers understand where their tax dollars are going,” Allen said.
