Here is some hard data:
The state and federal government taxes gas at 32.4 cents to 70.3 cents a gallon.
This does not include crude oil import taxes or taxes passed on from the refineries.

Thanks a lot!
Another question. This lists cents per gallon, which is what I asked for. But I thought I heard it was a percentage per gallon. Which would point out even more govn’t corruption. Is this true.
