<\/p>\n

A national oil industry group ridiculed Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his chauffeured lifestyle after he urged Californians to skip Chevron stations during the busy Memorial Day travel period.<\/p>\n

The US Oil & Gas Association, a group that has championed oil and gas producers since 1917, took aim at Newsom on X. \u201cPro tip: Don\u2019t take Pro tips from a Politician who hasn\u2019t driven himself anywhere since 2004,\u201d the group wrote in a post that drew more than 100,000 views. The dig pointed to the state-funded drivers who shuttle the governor in an all-electric Rivian, the New York Post (NYP) reported.

Association president Tim Stewart sharpened the attack in remarks to The California Post. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting how the politicians who are picked up every morning by a black SUV are experts on gas prices but always fail to recognize the impact their bad decisions actually have on gas prices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The clash started when Newsom\u2019s office told drivers that branded fuel holds no real edge over cheaper unbranded gas, the Associated Press (AP) reported. \u201cBig Oil is already making billions off Trump\u2019s Iran War; don\u2019t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name,\u201d the office posted on X. Officials cited a state analysis putting Chevron 60 to 80 cents per gallon above unbranded rivals, with California averaging $6.14 a gallon and carrying the country\u2019s highest gas tax at roughly 70 cents, the AP reported.<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s office brushed off the oil group\u2019s taunt in its own statement to the NYP. \u201cYou want us to comment on a tweet from an account that apparently has been stalking Gavin Newsom since 2004?\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Chevron has steadily retreated from the state, moving its headquarters from San Ramon to Houston in 2024 and ending a 145-year California run, CBS News San Francisco reported. Spokesman Ross Allen pushed back. \u201cChevron works hard to educate Californians about the negative consequences of Sacramento\u2019s energy and tax policies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The feud feeds the race to replace the term-limited Newsom, PBS NewsHour reported. Republican Steve Hilton, who carries President Donald Trump\u2019s endorsement, has pledged $3 gas, though Democratic rival Matt Mahan told him in a debate, \u201cYou\u2019re lying to people.\u201d<\/p>\n
