Eight states increased their gas tax this week, according to a report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

The increases went in to effect on July first.
Though the State charges sales tax on fuel (the same as the tax charged. on clothing, a car, a laptop, etc.), none of the tax collected on the sale of the fuel is used. to improve roads. So, some would say there is a lot more than the 19 cents fuel tax on. gasoline because in addition to the fuel tax there is additional sales tax. That is true. If. you fill up at the pump for $35.00 for 10 gallons of gas at $3.50/gal., you pay an. additional $2.10 to the state in sales tax. However, road funding still only gets 19 cents. per gallon or $1.90 for your fill up. The additional $2.10 does not go to the MTF.
