How much they should charge: Just enough to pay for highway upkeep.
Indiana in the top 7! Whoo Hoo!!
Oh, wait....
CA - NY - IL -— typical high taxes states
FL - likes to stick it to the tourists and snowbirds
As you can see, owning a gas station / convenience store in NC near the border is a losing proposition......thanks to state Govt.
CT is the winner !
Don’t forget that this number is the total state and federal tax. The feds tax is 18.4 cents/gal thus the remaining difference is state. The feds tax on diesel is 24.4 cents/gal.
I live in NJ near both PA and NY, and we get folks crossing over to buy our gas (and not pump it) all the time. Amazing NJ has the 2nd lowest gas tax?? How is that even possible? I hope they don’t find out!
No surprise to see Illinois up there among the leaders. But we still are out of money and have lousy roads.
That is also why when I hear People say "Gas needs to be back to being 1.97" I always thought was really expensive, because our gas was typically 69 Cents when I was growing up (late 90's)
70% in Ct?
Dang.
I guess no poor people live there.
Look at Alaska’s! I’m jealous. :)
Here in California we pay SALES TAX on the State and Fed TAX.
If Texas has among the lowest gas taxes, why are we still paying around $3.40/gal. when Toledo, OH is selling it for $2.95/gal....and TX is an oil state? Something is rotten in TX.
Many of those states also have toll roads.
It looks like Wyoming is doing OK. $1.45 today for regular.
Makes me proud to live in NJ. /s/ I know, then why don’t I just move? I would but my wife likes our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. What’s a guy to do?
High gasoline tax is not the only reason to be getting out of most of those "red" states.
South Carolina looks pretty good. Most Southerners are nice are long you don’t come off as some carpetbagger trying to run their lives.
Wow, I will be traveling from Colorado to Indiana the next several days ! Cannot believe Indiana is 62 cents. I will be in Evansville and may conveniently drop into KY to fill up the tank and fill up before I cross from MO into IL.
In Evansville, I can drop right across the border into KY across from Ellis Park. In fact I know a gentleman who works at the place who use to work at the Shell Station across from the UE campus back in the day !
Oh, this is not good news?/s
