Media Alert: Measuring Pain at the Pump, Where Will You Pay the Most and Least Per Gallon in State Gasoline Taxes?

RIVERWOODS, Ill., Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 

What: Drivers in every state pay a per gallon tax when filling up at the pump, but tax rates vary widely across the country and a quick trip across the border to a neighboring state could save you money in taxes.

For example, if you're driving near the Pennsylvania – New York State line and see the needle on your gas gauge is approaching "E", you'll probably want to visit a gas station on the north side of the border. Drivers buying gas in Pennsylvania pay five times more in per gallon state gasoline taxes than in New York State.

So where else can drivers benefit from some of the lowest state, per gallon gasoline tax rates compared to where others endure some of the highest? Wolters Kluwer, CCH makes it easy to track states on each end of the gas tax spectrum.
