Stupid question on gas prices

So if gas is @ 3.85 per gallon, take off 49.5 cents…you have 3.36 is what the cost of gas is before tax. So you get taxed roughly 15% for gas.

Fortunately it’s not a %, back in 99 or so, the last time gas was under $1/gal, that tax was half the price. Gas before taxes was literally 50 cents/gal, and I think that was premium, less than a decade ago.
