State taxes are also levied per gallon, and sales taxes are not levied
on gasoline or other fuels. Government has not gotten any increased
revenue out of the rise in fuel prices. On the contrary, their cost
for fuel for government vehicles, and especially for the military
fighting in Iraq and elsewhere has gone up just nearly as much (some
cases more) than that of ordinary US citizens.

New York State imposes a 4% sales tax on gasoline with my county adding
another 4.75% sales tax to the cost of each gallon. Most states apply
sales tax to fuels.
