#7 $1.91 in most spots here in Atlanta. Some are even at $1.89. I imagine Costco/Sam's are even a few cents less than that! Can we say $1.50???

#10 LOL

It's $2.01 here in South Texas.

The Tax Foundation has that information click on figure 1 (federal tax) and figure 2 (Combined Local, State and Federal Gasoline Taxes, August 2005. For taxes on other fuel products visit the Flying J web page and click on 'fuel pricing' then 'state tax structure'.
