Is that just state tax, or does that include the federal tax in those numbers?

Wait a sec, is that how much they charge us in taxes?  Or is that how much it would cost without taxes?

The gasoline tax here is .59€ per liter. That is added to the price of gas and the VAT of 22% is added on top of that sum. A liter at the moment is around 1.35€, so the tax free price of the gas is roughly 0.51€/l. That converts to 1.96€/$2.45 per gallon, so the tax burden is $4.05 per gallon..

IT was an article on AOHELL that was mentioning thatsome states were thinking of temporarily relaxing some of the gas taxes.
And gave that listing by state
So I am assuming they were referring to state tax only

I realise this. It was more a question of curiousity then a complaint.
Curious as to how much gas is by state if the states taxes were not included.
Course this is also going by the assumption that the fed tax is flat across the board reguardless of state

Guess that is why they are building toll roads faster than free ones? Here in texas the gas-tax revenues go into the general coffers and get spent on everything BUT roads. I filled up this morning for 2.71/gal.

exactly... if they used the money they got from gas tax to build roads then all roads in America would be like the autobaun except.... made of gold.

They do what government allways does with the money instead tho.

I am completely against decreasing fuel tax or releasing any fuel from the National Reserve.

Part of me LIKES having the prices as they are, maybe it will be enough to finally encourage us to get away from an oil based economy a find alternative sources.

We should of woke up during the 70s gas shortage, but instead we are driving SUVs, some of which only get 10-15 miles per gallon (and some, amazingly less).

All of the above said, they should eliminate all the tax on all distillate fuels (diesel and heating oil). This way, the price of goods does not 'trickle down' to show the increased costs for fuel truckers are paying, it would allow the price of goods to remain constant and encourage the economy to grow.

Heating oil is also a distillate fuel and should not be taxed at this time, or only taxed after a certain number of gallons per year, for obvious reasons.

No.

Well. Change your name to "Edbert Petroleum Corp, Inc.",  make a healthy cash donation to the whatever PAC fund Ken Mehlman suggests and perhaps the great and poweful Shawk'n'Oz will wave his magical wand of "tax_break" and one of the blessed thou shalt be.

It is estimated that heating oil will far surpass mortage payments this winter. Don't you think people low income families deserve a break?

Heating oil is for just that, heat... you can't do much of anything else with it. Besides, how to does cutting CONNECTICUT heating oil tax affect someone from Texas? Why would you even care?
