Simple question....
How much of that $4.00 per gallon is state taxes?
We all know that there is federal tax on motor fuel of $0.184 per gallon
State taxes account for the difference. We’re paying $2.699 in western NY. Another $1.00 per gallon in Commifornia?
See post 49 from skepolitc and my post 56.
It is hard to get to an exact number. You can play around with those line items, then you still have a hidden tax caused by special CARB formulation requirements and the shortage of West Coast refineries, caused by decades of envirowhackoism. So it’s not something for which there is a clean, straightforward number.
