Currently Maryland has a state gas tax holiday. I am in Pennsylvania but buy all of my fuel below the Mason-Dixon line, it has saved me at least 25 cents per gallon for the past four years, but now I am saving 66 cents. The tax holiday will only last 30 days but I plan on having all my equipment, vehicles and containers full before it expires.
I shop at Giant Eagle for everything and use fuel perks. Wok on both fuels. Got buy groceries anyway. had 1.50 off last week. limit of 30 gallons though. New Meijer store opening soon, going to split my shopping. I doubt Ohio will ever do a tax Holiday. They even penalize Hybrids and Electric cars at the BMV so they get their tax we all pay at the pump.

That's NOT a penalty , that's being fair. I'd like to see them pay tax ,based on miles driven ,every year they get tags.

My point was more to the fact the tax will be collected. I agree on the fairness, just they will never relinquish collecting that tax to used to spending it. Just like I would bet the farm IF we ever went with Electric as majority of cars they will create new ways to make it as costly or more than what we do using gasoline.

The first thing they need to do is get rid of the subsidy.
Second set road tax based on mileage.

OH In ILLinois it gets even better. Ol Prickner is fining gas stations $500 a day if they do not display a sign stating that the tax increase has been suspended. Nice move Chunky butt, It's not like it is an election year, oh wait, it IS!!! The response from the gas station associations, Bring IT!

There was a scheduled tax increase of gasoline that was to kick in I think this month.

Price of gas near me across the border, $3.79. This side of the line add .70 cents. Diesel across the border, $4.69, This side $4.79. A .10 cent difference between states for Diesel, but a .70 cent difference for gas. Think IL has enough taxes on gas?

I was in Cleveland today, about 1 hour away. Took note on my way there of fuel prices. Around me Gas is $4.00 Diesel 5.00 The more north I went I saw signs at the same gas station chain for $3.50 for gas and $4.50 for diesel. No tax suspension here, just a little gouging out in the rural areas.

New York State enacted a gas tax holiday 6/1 through 12/31 with their state budget.

Guessing it will knock $2 off my $45/week for the truck.

Not sure what I'll do with the windfall....my electric bill is up $25/week. 😲

Standing in line at the gas station, the guy in front of me asked the clerk to put $10 on pump 2.

The clerk said “10 dollars, how far will that take you?”

He said “to pump #4”

Thieves cut the fuel line under our church van and drained all of the gas out, so I suppose that their gas was free.

I hate a thief !!

Absolutely, their 'pay up day' will come.

The driver found it yesterday morning when he went to get the van to make the route to bring the handicapped members to church.

Lucky to still have the catalytic converters on it. Around here the church vans have been getting hit for converter theft.

Our church van got hit with converter theft. Also, where I work, we had 13 vehicles get hit in one night with converter theft. The UPS facility close to us also got hit.
