I thought it used to be around 40 cents a gallon or at least it was on diesel fuel.

There are state excise taxes on fuel too

Gasoline, Gasohol, and Clear Diesel all cost 20.125 cents a gallon in state excise taxes and inspection fees.

It's my favorite tax though.

there you go. That used to be the difference between off-road diesel and road use diesel and now they are typically about 20 cents apart.

Look into what a pack of cigarettes costs and how much goes to taxation.

Creating more money to pay off government debts causes inflation, reducing our purchasing power. The sneakiest of all taxes IMO.

That's Louisiana, and that is damn low.

New York is over $4.00 per pack, Mass, $3.51. LINK
