How much do state gas taxes cost the average U.S. driver/family each year?
State gasoline tax rates range from a low of eight-cents-per-gallon (in Alaska) to more than 30-cents-per-gallon, so the amount of tax paid will vary by state of residence. The average tax rate among all states, however, is 19.25-cents-per-gallon, according to the Federal Highway Administration. This means the average cost of state gasoline taxes is $115.12 per vehicle each year. The average family with 2.1 vehicles thus pays $241.74 per year or $4.65 per week.
