so Indiana is blue when it should be red? either way, it sucks.

NC is definitely on the high side but think they do a good job of maintaining them unlike other states.

Looks like Pa. is the highest and nothing gets fixed. The same pot holes were still there 20 years after I left.

I knew we were among the highest in PA, but I see we`re solidly in first place, 4 cents higher than Taxifornia!

are tax is average. dont let capital hill see that they will surely raise it. We also pay a local excise tax to our town every year for the current value of any vehicles you own. and for large trucks you pay registration fee of 20$ per every 1000 pounds of registered GVW, plus an additional over weight fee for anything over 58,000 pounds add additional 60$ per 1000 pounds.

Yet people want to go to California. There must be a lot making a living on the other rich people there.

Funny how little correlation there is between gas taxes and overall gas prices.

CA state plus fed is $.6075 and the price of gas averages $3.47

PA state plus fed is $.70 and their price at the pump is $2.58

FL state plus fed is $.5482 and they pay $2.37

The difference in tax between FL and CA is only $.06 but the price at the pump difference is $1.00.

Tax is obviously a factor, but higher taxes don`t really seem to have as much effect on total price as you`d think. Seems oil companies will charge all they can in any given market, taking less profits where the economy won`t support higher pricing and going for the gusto where it will.
