ENER Fuel costs and fuel taxes.

[Texican]

We visit Paris, Texas, and Sherman, Texas, for doctor appointments and buy groceries and sundries while in both cities.

Fuel costs:

At Kroger's in Paris, Texas, on 1/10, we paid $2.16 per gallon for fuel due to a 30 cent discount.
At Sam's in Sherman, Texas, last week we Paid $2.44 per gallon for fuel.
We have found that fuel costs are generally less in Texas, but property taxes far exceed our property taxes in Oklahoma.
In our area fuel cost has been in the $2.90's for a while.

I looked at taxes on fuel with the following observed:

How High are Gas Taxes in Your State?

California pumps out the highest state gas tax rate of 77.9 cents per gallon (cpg), followed by Illinois (66.5 cpg) and Pennsylvania (62.2 cpg).

taxfoundation.org

Fuel Taxes:
Texas: 20.00 cents per gallon.
Oklahoma: 25.00 cents per gallon.
California: 77.90 cents per gallon. Highest.
Alaska: 8.95 cents per gallon. Lowest
Overall, fuel taxes are a small part of fuel costs except in the blue states which is part of the blue state mentality.

Oklahoma has multiple refineries as does Texas. The cost of fuel is driven by greed for why would the cost of fuel in Texas be 50 cents less than in Oklahoma. Delivery costs does increase the cost for fuel to remote locations, but not a lot.

what do you see fuel costs in your area?

jj,

That's a good cost.

In our area in SE Ok (Antlers area), the price is $2.96 with no reason except greed, but maybe the cost has been lowered, but will not drive the miles to check on.
