I know Washington State isn’t. Our tax is per gallon, not a percentage. But Olympia is still starting to talk about a gas tax hike. Strike while the iron is hot, the bums.

Gas tax is by the gallon. The less gas costs me per gallon the more gallons I can afford to buy. So the government makes more money with lower gas prices.
