12 U.S. States Are Boosting Their Gasoline Tax Today

Gasoline

Today, gasoline taxes are rising in a dozen U.S. states. The increase is particularly notable in Illinois given that the state hasn't altered its gas tax since 1990. It's bumping its gas tax by 19 cents to 38 cents a gallon. California is also among the states with increases and taxes in the Golden State are going up by 5.6 cents. That now equates to 47.3 cents per gallon, meaning California once again has the highest gasoline prices in the country. The following infographic shows where gasoline taxes are going up today and it's based on data from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
