SEE HERE, that is just gouging us on taxes. The taxes are based on "Per Gallon sold" Not the price sold at.
When Gas prices are lower it doesn't lower the amount of taxes collected, on the contrary.... It should increase the tax dollars collected because people are going to drive more and burn more fuel. Duh. This is an example of either a mis-informed news media (Talking Head) or a mis-informed Govt. official.
