Okay, the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents a gallon. Georgia state gas tax (the lowest in the country) is 7.5 cents a gallon, plus 4%--another 10 cents. What taxes are making up the other $1.14 to be half the price of a gallon of gas?
Wull hey, heyworth! That wuz close enuf fer govermint werk, rite? Don't be so danged picky!!!
So everyone understands. Gas tax is computeed per gallon, not per dollar of gas purchased. So it is better that it be cheaper, up to a certain point, so people buy more gas more often
