Gasoline sales tax is 2.75%, and that is on top of the state excise tax of $.473 and the federal excise tax of around 18 cents.
IOW we are paying sales tax on excise tax.

BTW Jet fuel sales tax is 7.25%
Diesel sales tax is 13%.

If we add up all the taxes and fees charged by the gubmint from crude oil drilling to refining to the pump, you'd find that over 1/3 of the $$$$ we pay goes to the gubmint.


And here's the funny part: Gavin Nuisance, the a-hole who supported increasing the gasoline tax many times, has once again called for an investigation into why gas costs so much.
They laugh when the price goes up, and as soon as it is ready to start falling they call for an investigation and PRETEND that they are responsible for bringing the price down. Every time they do it.
And if it gets low enough they look at that as an excuse to increase taxes and fees.

And the dumbest of the dumb believe the nonsense and continue to support these people and vote for them. Amazing.
They shuoldn't be allowed to reproduce, much less vote.
