Gas taxes

[Gondring]

It’s currently 18.4 cents per gallon, for gasoline; 24.4 for diesel; 13.3 for gasahol. The average state taxes are 21.44, 22.0, and 21.36 cents per gallon, respectively.

It used to be that the government made 7 cents for every cent that the oil company made, and the oil company actually provided the product.

But those are OLD numbers.
