California is getting even more expensive

Here’s the Gas Buddy Price Map if you’d like to compare prices in your location to the rest of the country.
It comes in handy for trip planning.

All of you in other states claiming that your gas taxes are even higher than CA; keep in mind that you STILL are paying significantly less $ per gallon than CA. Average nationwide cost of (regular) is currently $2.47, while in CA it is $3.04 (jumping to $3.16 tomorrow).

whew im glad i just paid 1.96

Filled up truck at $1.799

Better then where I'm at, cost me 2.37 a gallon for Diesel last fill.

Fuel price is already on my list of reasons why I don't go to California, but now I'll underline it. We don't EVER go to California and I haven't missed it since Ronald Regan was elected governor.

Pa gas tax is 50 cents a gallon. What stinks is it doesn't go all to fix roads.It also pays for the state police. Just like federal gas tax pasy for mass transit and bicycle trails.

As of last Jan 1st the PA tax is 58.2 cents per gallon. How are the roads in your neck of the woods? Plenty of orange barrels and Jersey barriers here in SW PA but I still bounce over speedbumps on the way to work lol. At least PA is number one in some category.

What they need to be taxing the poop out of is the Marcellus Shale natural gas Industry, but good luck with that. Too many hands in too many pockets.

The gasoline tax will increase by 12 cents, from 18 cents to 30 cents per gallon

The excise tax on diesel fuel will rise 20 cents, to 36 cents per gallon.

And the diesel sales tax rate will go from 1.75 to 5.75 percent.

Fuel taxes went up in Indiana also this summer.

Everyone can thank the voters of Cali for putting the politicians in place to raise the tax rate to an astounding level. I guess that's what the people of Cali want - high gas prices. And this is precisely why I have a 91 gallon tank in my truck's bed so that I never have to buy fuel in Cali.

Astounding level? Their total tax burden is 4.4% of GSP, below the national average of 4.6%. If you want to see high taxes look at the sparsely populated states. With lots of infrastructure and few taxpayers Alaska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming, are at 2-3x the national average.

I guess it is all in where you pull the statistics. According to USA Today; California is number 10 for highest tax burden (9.52%) and New York is number 1 at 12.94%. Alaska comes in at 6.27% which is number 49 with Wyoming at number 42 at 7.29%.
