CJ, > So all of the oil pumped is used in state?

I don't know. My WAG would be no.

So all of the oil pumped is used in state?

All of the mineral leases under the land have been bought up by the oil companies........even in areas where no oil has been found. I do believe the state of CA gets a royalty for every barrel pumped from the ground. Of course, that number is declining fairly quickly.

Its possible all the oil pumped is used in the state...mainly because there isn't enough to supply the entire state. CA imports oil from other countries and from the Gulf to meet its needs.

Money is fungible. The tax can go to "roads only", but have the net effect of increasing spending elsewhere, possibly even without increasing spending on roads.
