Just in case anyone is interested in knowing. This past thursday the price for a gallon of regular gasoline at the rack in Catlettsburg was 48 cents.

Add the 40 some cents for road taxes and that is what a gallon of gasoline really costs. Of course there is whatever shipping costs that are incurred to the gas station that must be included as well.

But there you have it.

It's pretty amazing that the taxes on gasoline are more than the total cost per gallon was when I first got my drivers license. I remember my shock when I first saw the cost of gasoline go above $1.00/gallon at a service station in Holden, WV.
