The higher the per gallon cost is, more state sales tax is brought in. The counties and cities get a share, so they never bring up this reality.

Excellent point.

Michigan has that sales tax, too. The state govt. was in a panic when gas was down over a year ago and their government croupier's cut of the money being pulled off the taxation roulette table was going too low. They sighed in relief when gas went up again.

Thanks.

This may be an every state raping of drivers with the sales tax calculated and added at the top of the costs.
