Not since 2010. Do a search on "fuel tax swap." They raised the per gallon excise tax and eliminated the sales tax, except on diesel. If anything they'll make more money because lower gas prices will encourage consumption.

As I read it, what you indicated is only partially true. Looks like it was not a complete swap/ Still looks as though there’s a 2.25% sales tax.
