"While Californians were being ripped off at the pump last year, Big Oil's bottom line ballooned to levels never seen before in history -- making record profits off the backs of hard-working families. Then they flaunt it to their investors while refusing to even answer Californians' questions about high prices. They're ripping you off. That's why, with the Legislature, we're going to pass a price gouging penalty to hold Big Oil accountable," said Governor Gavin Newsom.
