 Drivers around the Bay Area and throughout California have only today and tomorrow to fill up before the gas tax takes a big jump.  The state’s gas tax will go up 12 cents a gallon Wednesday.  The tax hike is part of an infrastructure improvement project pushed by Governor Brown.  Caltrans says the higher gas tax will raise about 54-billion dollars for road repairs and improvements.
