In the Peoples Republic of California we have the worst gas blend and highest gas taxes. California's gas taxes are among the highest in the nation, with the state charging 45.4 cents for every gallon purchased. Then the government raids the gas taxes that are meant for the roads and spends them on other worthless endeavors. And the roads are so bad here.

I just gassed up..... $3.379 for premium. That is the lowest I've paid in awhile.

We pay sales tax on the amount including the gas tax

90% of the gas price in France is taxes
