fuel tax
Pump price addition
A fuel tax is a government levy on gasoline, diesel, or other fuels, typically calculated per gallon or liter purchased.
These taxes fund road construction, maintenance, and transportation infrastructure, operating on the principle that those who use the roads should pay for their upkeep.
Fuel taxes are often built into the pump price, so consumers may not notice them separately.
The state raised its fuel tax to address crumbling bridges and highways.
