Gasoline Taxes

 Pennsylvania Gasoline Taxes

Pennsylvania has the second highest gasoline taxes in the USA at $0.57 per gallon second to only California. High gas taxes hurt working class families, lead to higher costs of goods and inflation for all Pennsylvanians.  

The increased gas tax was instituted by one term Governor Tom Corbett in 2013. The average price of a gallon of gas in PA today is around $3.15 with $0.57 cents being a tax.  Just think of how a lower tax could benefit every day working families.  PA has slow growth economy and reducing the gas tax would help spur economic growth which would also increase government revenues.  

The ironic part is that Pennsylvania is the second leading natural gas producer and top 3 coal producer in the country. Why does the one of the leading energy producing states have one of the highest gasoline taxes that unfairly hurts its citizens. 

The high gas tax hurts the economically challenged the most. Time to repeal the high PA gasoline tax and let the people keep their hard earned money.
