Default Re: Not Good !!! Gas

Taxes used as an incentives are a bad idea.

Here's proof.



Motorists in New York State can save big time on gasoline taxes by simply driving to neighboring New Jersey to fill up.
New York has the second highest state gasoline tax rate, charging 47.1 cents per gallon, while New Jersey ranks No. 48 with a tax of just 14.5 cents per gallon, according to a new report from the Tax Foundation.
California has the highest tax, 47.7 cents, while other states with low gas taxes are Alaska (8 cents) and Wyoming (14 cents).
The Tax Foundation’s report discloses wide differences in the state taxes imposed on other items including cigarettes, spirits, wine, beer, and cell phone usage.

Ironicaly, gas in New Jersey is still pumped by an attendent. It is the law.
