Regarding State Tax on Gas ?
Don’t you think our Government could help in relieving us of such high gas prices by not charging the usual Tax Percentage? For example…They could charge 3% instead of 8%..!! So if your gas price is currently $3 a gallon they make 23 cents off each gallon sold. But if they reduced the tax to 3% They’d make only 8 cents and our gallon price would be $2.85….Who is with me??
OR considering………When gas first started going up it went to like $1.28 per gallon. They were making 12 cents per gallon at a 8% tax rate. So if they decided to accept the 12 cents per gallon then our gallon price would only be $2.89 per gallon saving us 11cents per gallon.
But nooooo they are taking advantage of the situation too because they are collecting more tax. Talk about price gouging!!!
It is more advantageous to them to let the gasoline situation rise. Who agrees????????

Comments on Regarding State Tax on Gas ?
Do you really expect the state to give up a windfall?
They are making more on a gallon of gas than the station
owner. If we could get rid of all of the taxes we would
drop the price almost $1.00 per gallon
So yes I do agree, but I don’t think it will ever happen
Michigan won’t reduce the fuel tax. In fact, the governor just passed a bill to increase our fuel tax. This is part of the reason why we have the highest prices in America.
