Cheaper than diesel!
I can remember diesel being cheaper than gas. Like substantially. At least by a dollar+
Then 911 happened and it changed iirc

I don’t know whose fault this is, but my suspicion is that it’s seg('s)fault.
Hey, give him some slack, he’s under the weather after the core dumped him
Love that you have to specify it’s a joke because someone here would legitimately try to help otherwise
What’s the 9/10 after the price?
Yeah it’s dumb. American thing only I think
9/10ths of a cent. It’s part of the tax.
It has nothing to do with tax. It’s just to make the price look one smaller. May I ask where you were taught it had anything to do with tax?
Tax is included in gas price
Here is the federal Energy Information Administration’s website stating the federal tax on gasoline is 18.3 cents per gallon. On top of that, states will add taxes on top. My state of North Carolina currently has a 40.65 cent per gallon tax on gasoline. Which works out to be 58.95 cents per gallon in tax.
art of the tax
buntu the best
Is that dollars per gallon?
Yep
Damn, that is some cheap gas.
1990’s Canada vibes.
Isn’t gasoline more refined than diesel how is it cheaper …? Never seen it its weird …
Correct, it’s because the government found a cash cow with trucking companies. If I recall something like 80% of diesel cost is tax. Truckers pay for our roads and bridges, to a point.
