Indiana pump prices have always included applicable state and Federal gasoline taxes. Through the late 1970s, maybe into the early 1980s, the pump price did not include state sales tax. I don't remember exactly when it changed, but our pump prices have included all taxes, including state sales tax, for approximately thirty years.
It was $4.83 per US gallon here in Ontario Canada last night. Compared to $3.39 accross the border in New York
...and with the Canuck buck being worth $1.03 US that brings it to $4.97 US per US gallon.
I only buy fuel in Port Huron, MI these days. The bridge-toll is off- set by the price difference in a 12-pack of Erdinger Weissbier alone.
It was a little awkward to pull up behind the Jag of Sarnia Chamber Of Commerce's president at a Port Huron gas station some time ago. I pretended not to see him. He appreciated my effort. LOL. (Although he owes me a round.)
