How much of that price per gallon at the pump is being siphoned off to the fed/state/local government?

Double and triple, as the price is driven sky high, due to the flood of government paychecks at the cash registers. (including elsewhere such as the grocery store)

Federal tax on a gallon of gas is around 42 cents. The rest depend on the state. I believe the highest if 51 cents but I don’t remember the state.

Per gallon taxes are close to 20% of the price.
