it's going up pretty steadily two, three cents at a time. >> reporter: dave said that the new hike is just a part of overall gas taxes that we all pay. >> when you combine state, federal, local, all the different fees it's about $1 and you're getting taxed on top of tax. so it's a little over $1 when you add it all up. >> reporter: as for the voters? >> a lot of families are in a tight financial bind and consequently, a 12-cent tax could impact them greatly. >> depending on whether it's going to be used for something good. >> reporter: now early polling shows that over 50% of californerare ready to vote for the repeal. even in the bay area it's a split decision on this. so the transit officials, the elected officials, the legislature, the contractors and everybody else that stands to benefit from this are going to have a sales job ahead of them between now and november.

>> let's talk about november for a second, phil. how does something like the gas tax play into the governor's race and also the tight congressional races across the state? >> reporter: the feeling is something like this will bring out the more conservative vote, those people concerned about wallet issues like republicans and in tight congressional races more republican turnout could help them. that's what they hope to see in the governor's race as well. so yes, veronica, all things are political in this state and gas included, probably at the top of the list. in dublin, phil matier, kpix5. back to you. >> thank you. crude oil prices are at their highest levels in more than three years and the price at the pump is likely to keep climbing into the summer. already in the bay area it's well over$3.50 a gallon. drivers filling up in san francisco are seeing an average of 3.73. in oakland and san jose the price is 3.63 compared to a national average of 2.81. a c-h- ng a

coming up tomorrow. it also means less fog which we've had a lot the last three or four nights. mainly clear and cool overnight, mid-40s in the north bay, napa and vallejo 46. a mixture of sun and clouds tomorrow without the morning fog and with the north wind. watch what it does for the north bay of each particular part of the bay area has a flow of air that will really warm you up. in santa rosa and napa it's a north to south wind which you get tomorrow. so by far you're the warmest spot, napa 80 work santa rosa 80, 72, though, in -- napa neat 2, santa rosa 80, 72, though, in concord. in san francisco not much change. you'll stay in the 60s. as for rainfall, you saw the showers up in napa county. that's it. dry weather pattern will be with us for a while. tomorrow the warmest inland spots make it to the low 80s, but then an onshore flow

good today. >> feel like a fan. i can't wait to see him out there, you know, especially knowing steph. i know it's been killing him. he's great holding his emotion, but i know he's been dying to get out there and he looks ready as ever. called up ove bad news for the giants. joe panik will miss at least six weeks after undergoing thumb surgery earlier today. alan hanson has been called up over the weekend and will start at second base for the giants tonight. now i hear a rumor that jimmy garoppolo will be in the building in about 20 minutes and he's going to open the door for the san jose sharks as they come out onto the ice for game three. great times in the bay area. warriors and playoffs. i'll be here all night, reports on the 10:00 and 11:00. live from s.a.p. center, dennis o'donnell, kpix5. back to you. >> you bet. playoff fever. >> thank you. coming up in our next half hour shots fired inside a bay
