California drivers normally catch a bit of a break this time of year when gas stations switch over to winter blends, which usually run about 12 cents a gallon less than summer-blended fuel.
But this year, the switch will coincide with the rollout of a state law to increase the price of gasoline by 12 cents a gallon.
In essence, the hike in the gas tax will nullify the reduction in price associated with the transition to winter fuel.
Gas stations in Southern California will be allowed to start selling winter-blended gasoline Wednesday, according to the Weekly Fuel Prices Report released by the Automobile Club of Southern California.
