After crude oil costs, taxes are the second largest contributor to the price paid at the pump. Together Federal and State excise taxes on fuel account for an average cost of approximately 62 cents per gallon

Answer 1

23.5 cents for state and 18.4 cents for federal, for a whopping 41.5 cents, which is almost 14% of the cost per gallon.

I cannot think of a single company in the world that makes 14% earnings on their efforts, except for the governments, what a rip-off

Answer 2

The complete tax paid where im at ( federal state and local added ) is 47.9 cents per gallon I believe.
I remember when I was 9 my cousin filling up his motorcycle so we could ride and I remember he paid something like 54 cents a gallon. Now I pay almost that much in taxes.

Answer 3

8 cents in Alaska, even lower for marine use. Makes me almost wish I had a car. LOL My town does have sales tax but it's not statewide.

Answer 4

31.9 cents per gallon. And check out how they add it up:
"The gasoline statewide tax is 14.9 cpg which includes sales tax (10.9 cpg) and excise tax (4 cpg). Gasoline sales tax rate increased 0.4 cpg on 1/1/06 with annual change based on CPI. Gasoline 14.9 cpg does not include 2.2 cpg tax/fee for environmental inspection purposes (5 cents per barrel tax for the Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund, 80 cents per barrel for the Inland Protection Trust Fund, 2 cents per barrel for the Coastal Protection Trust Fund, and 1/8 cpg for weights and measures inspection fee). Gasoline 14.9 cpg also does not include taxes varying by counties including the State Comprehensive Enhanced Transportation System Tax (SCETS), which increased 0.2 cpg to 6 cpg (Franklin County is 5 cpg) based on CPI and county local option taxes ranging from minimum 10.0 to maximum 18.0 cpg. Depending on the county, state and federal gasoline taxes vary from 45.5 to 53.5 cpg. The 27.9 cpg for diesel is flat across all Florida counties and includes sales (10.9 cpg), excise (4 cpg), SCETS (6 cpg), and various local option taxes (7 cpg). Based on CPI, the diesel sales tax increased 0.4 cpg and SCETS 0.2 cpg."
