Taxes are low as here in the US (a) many people hate taxes and (b) with such a low population density, commerce is very reliant on road vehicles. So raising taxes has an outsized impact on commerce.
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoCalifornia has higher gas taxes. Our gas is currently about $3.70 a gallon where I live.
- malyk 7y ago$4.29 for premium yesterday in oakland.
- icelancer 7y agoAbout that in parts of Seattle as well. Which is low given a few year rolling average. We should expect gasoline prices to rise, and fast. So anything that starts to look into economically viable options at $7-10/gallon is worth checking into now in a startup phase.
