Diesel Fuel Taxes By State
Just like regular or premium unleaded gasoline, Diesel Fuel Taxes in most states are quite significant!
In fact, when combined with Federal Taxes -- taxes on diesel fuel are actually higher on average than gasoline taxes. These days diesel fuel costs more than regular gasoline so higher diesel fuel taxes hurt even more!
As well, just like gasoline, there are various state excise and other state taxes "hidden" in the cost of a gallon at your local gas station.
We want to make as many people as possible aware of the taxes they pay when they stop to "top it off" so they know when the fuel pump is sucking away all their money!
Are you putting too much of your hard earned money in your gas tank? What is it costing you every week to fill your tank?
Is it over $30 yet? Or is it $40, $60, $80, $100???? Anyone remember the days when 5 bucks could get you a 1/4 tank? Ha! Stop reminicsing! Those days are longgggggg gone!!!
When we show you how much of that hard earned money you are spending for every gallon is simply tax, it may just incent you to get active and start looking for alternative energy sources as a means to stop relying mostly on oil to power our automobiles and trucks!

Remember, unlike a "Sales Tax" where the amount of tax you're paying is obvious because it's added after the fact, these taxes are very mysterious because they're included in the per-gallon price you pay at the pump.
