Despite living on the GA side of the Savannah River, we still grab I-520 and head over to SC to buy things whenever feasible.

SC has Lower sales taxes and gas prices than GA. 28 vs 32 and Gas seems to run about 8 to 10+ cent a gallon less.

The wife roughly guesstimates we are saving around $200+ a year.

#4  30.9¢ fuel tax per gallon in Wisconsin, and is put in the state's transportation fund.

Dem lawmakers used to use this as a slush fund (until the R's gained control of the money), but now it's wholly dedicated to transportation programs.

#3  ...It's 28 cents/gal here in SC, and it was a good-sized jump when we got there - but it's got to be said that the politicians actually explained the how/why, and kept their word on keeping the money going to highway repair.

One of the recent Trump Economy Poll questions, I have seen, asked.

Do you see Gas being below $2 a gallon ever again?


The only real hurdle I see are state taxes.

eg. The Top 3 state taxers.
California at 68.1 cents per gallon (cpg),
Illinois (66.5 cpg)
and Pennsylvania (58.7 cpg).

All 3 just happen to be, die-hard, Liberal Democrat states.
