” I understand it is unlawful to break down the various costs and taxes associated with gasoline, at least at the pump, in at least some states?”

Do you make this stuff as you go along or is someone over at DU emailing this garbage to you. ROFLMAO

I can’t count the number of times I and “thackney” have posted the gasoline costs & taxes in EVERY STATE on FR.

go over to gasbuddy.com and eia.doe.gov and you’ll see the taxes for every state clearly documented.

here’s a link to a nice picture chart that breaks down the costs of each gallon of gasoline for you so you won’t even have to read! LMAO

I think the point the poster was trying to make was that some states prohibit the breakdown of prices at the pump by the retailer. In otherwords, some retailers who might want to can't advertise or post $2.45 per gallon plus $0.52 State and federal tax. I wouldn't be surprised if some states do, indeed, have such a prohibition to make the heavy taxes that much less a daily reminder.

I like this chart Historical Prices at the Pump in todays dollars

Since you read one question, then answered another (along with insults), I'll rephrase: Is there a restriction on documenting the price break down at the pump...right where folks are paying?

I've never heard of any such restriction...then again, I've never seen the price breakout listed on the pump. If I were selling gas and getting blamed for gouging, I'd post the info.

Are they posted prominently at the pump? Betcha they are not. Why do you suppose that is?

The information is available, but it isn't made easily available. Compare your gasoline receipt to one from, say, the phone company. The phone bill will gleefully itemize the 25-30% added taxes and fees on each monthly statement, while your gasoline receipt merely gives you the price, amount of gallons, and total cost, with no mention of taxes, fees, or other government-induced costs.
