[link\|http://www.api.org/newsroom.cgi?id=I002108&cat=Research+Papers\|From API American Petroleum Institute:] In August 2001 the taxes collected on a gallon of gasoline amounted to 42 cents, including 18.4 cents per gallon in federal taxes, and 23.6 cents per gallon in volume-weighted average state taxes. I would say that's less than 30% of the average price nationally. YMMV, but it's not 75%. Alex "Never express yourself more clearly than you think." -- Neils Bohr (1885-1962)

But, of course, there is no way to get back without filling up once in Florida. Well, you have not income tax, and this is one way to take some money from you (and us).
