    The further you get from Texas, the more expensive gas gets. Roommate explained it as the pipeline and just further from that you get the more it costs to even get it there. It's almost $4 a gallon here in WA, and was just over $2 in FL when I lived there not long ago

    It only shows up as about 60 cents a gallon at the pump here in Oregon, but I’m guessing it’s been hit a few more times before it gets there.

    • Climate Commitment Act (CCA): Washington's cap-and-trade program, implemented in 2023, requires fuel suppliers to buy carbon emissions credits, the costs of which are passed on to consumers. This program alone has been estimated to add an extra 40 to 50 cents per gallon to the price of gas, significantly widening the price gap beyond just the state excise tax difference. Montana does not have a comparable statewide carbon program.

    Kind of a neat trick by the state who can say "our gas tax isn't that much more than Montana" and technically be right.

    Fuel taxes range between 25% and 40% depending on the province. That of course is on top of the 15-20% federal and 5-15% income tax we pay. Assuming you live in Quebec and you earn 50k a year pre tax, by the time gas is in your tank around 50% of your pre tax income has gone solely to taxes. Downright criminal for something that’s just short of essential for most average people.
