(CALIFORNIA POST) – A major oil group slammed Gavin Newsom for his chauffeured rides after the governor urged Californians to avoid filling up at Chevron stations in a spiteful dig at the gas giant.
On Thursday, Newsom ripped into Chevron with a “pro tip” claiming the company’s “branded” blend costs drivers more at the pump compared to “unbranded” gas.
The attack came after clips went viral showing signs at Chevron stations telling drivers that state policies are to blame for California having the highest gas prices in the nation.
After Newsom’s outburst, the US Oil & Gas Association came over the top by bringing up Newsom’s own driving habits — or lack thereof.
“Pro tip: Don’t take Pro tips from a Politician who hasn’t driven himself anywhere since 2004,” the group wrote in a post on X Thursday that had gotten nearly 100,000 views.
The association’s president doubled down on the criticism in a statement to The California Post.
“It’s 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,” Tim Stewart said.
The group had been referencing Newsom’s taxpayer-funded drivers, who ferry the governor between events across the state and leave him out of touch with everyday commuters.
