This morning i was following a truck into Sarlat. The tailgate was emblazoned with the company name. Under which was the message

l'un d'une flotte de véhicules hybrides
40% Gasoil - 60% Impôts​

In English

One of a fleet of hybrid vehicles.
40% Diesel - 60% Taxes.
​

What is fuel tax where you live?

Because of the mountains separating CA from other states which effects supply and environmental laws, our gas prices are higher here.

A small cost considering those mountains make it more difficult for people like @Revoltingest and @Wu Wei to get to Cali

It varies across the US of A. There are federal, state, and local taxes of various sorts, including excise and sales taxes.

Article from the US Energy Information Agency...

How much tax do we pay on a gallon of gasoline and on a gallon of diesel fuel?
The taxes and other fees on retail gasoline and diesel fuel, in cents per gallon, as of July 1, 2021

Gasoline Diesel
Federal 18.40 24.40
Average of total state taxes 30.63 32.29
Federal taxes include excises taxes of 18.3 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.3 cents per gallon on diesel fuel, and a Leaking Underground Storage Tank fee of 0.1 cents per gallon on both fuels. State taxes include rates of general application including, but not limited to, excise taxes, environmental taxes, special taxes, and inspection fees, but they exclude state taxes based on gross or net receipts. State taxes do not include county and local taxes. This information is for general informational purposes only.

State-by-state fuel taxes—includes federal and state-level taxes on motor gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation gasoline, and jet fuel
Historical federal and state taxes are available in the Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Statistics Series. In the 2019 edition, see tables:

• 8.2.1. Federal excise tax rates on motor fuels and lubricating oil
• 8.2.3. State tax rates on motor fuel
• 8.4.6. State tax rates on motor fuel

My typical drive between here and Indiana will have every state inbetween the way cheaper on gas.

We also get better roads for it. Save for the Mojave, I have yet to be worried about excessive potholes and potholes of excessive size.

It's looking possible I have never had good front suspension in my car because until yesterday the vibration I feel has always been explained away by mechanics as "high mileage." This included the dealership mechanics just after I bought it. And helps explain why I go through tires so fast.
I should probably really just take some classes to learn what I don't know.
