Our new governor wants to add another .45 p/gallon tax on gas and diesel to fix our roads.

That sucks! Perhaps googling "mexican weather girls" and looking at the images will help. Works for me.

And that's on top of the .26 we already pay, for a total of .71 which would be the highest in the nation !!

pizzes me off ! That's On top of having the highest in the nation for car insurance

I figured it will cost me at least an extra $500+ a year

and you know the tax will never go away

and of course it isn't even a dedicated road tax, it has money for the schools and pollution

I'd propose a 1-2% income tax increase dedicated only to the roads for a specific length of time then end it !!!!
This way everyone pays, because everyone uses the roads either directly or indirectly.

Excuse my rambling, but it just pizzes me off.....

i'm pretty sure PA has everyone in the US beat on fuel taxes. we legit are the highest in the country at like .60 now

literally if i drive 30 min into ohio it's .80+ cheaper typically.

i like how i literally was excited to see 93 is 3.35 here and not almost 4/gal like when i put the cars away.

but sadly clean gas hits in june i believe and 93 jumps .50 overnight usually lol

however, i never realized costco has super cheap gas and my parents have card for there lol

87 here is 2.75 and 93 is 3.35

at costco 93 is 2.75......i know where i'm going now lol there's one right by my work.

I really wouldn't mind paying the tax if it was dedicated to the roads and only the roads, because our roads need it, but when they start mixing in this other crap, that's where they get the big middle finger from me !

the PA turpike raised rates yet again and yet the roads are still trash.

the article yesterday that hit the news is that the turnpike is 11b in debt to PennDOT and late on their payments.
