Also going up in California because of Jerry (Lord of the Flies) Brown’s “cap and trade” scam.

My son and I rented a vehicle and drove up to the NEast a week ago to see family members, couldn’t believe how expensive gas was up I Maryland/Virginia/Pennsylvania/WVirginia. Must be higher gas taxes.

Got back to Texas and filled up yesterday for a whopping $1.78 per gallon.....whew hew!

Here is the Amer. Petroleum Institute taxes for US state graphic... roll over the state for the breakdown.

Federal excise tax is 18.4 cents/gal.

NC is raising its state excise to 37.5 cents on top of the federal excise, making it the most expensive in the South, along with FL. And it is NOT based on the lower price or increased usage.

Lowest state tax is either in LA or AK but all have the federal excise added.

Alaska’s total of state excise tax/fees on gasoline is the cheapest in the US at 12.4 cent/gal.

Pennsylvania has no excise tax but other state taxes/fees at 41.80 cents/gal. This in an oil producing state.

Money-hungry Rats’n’RINOS are looking at these lower oil prices as a golden opportunity to raise taxes.

But guess what? When oil prices go back up, the newly raised taxes will stay the same (or more likely, go up some more).
