Here, I can do a better job than this entire article.
It’s currently $0.511 per gallon. There’s already a law that increases gas tax (presumably to keep up with inflation) every year in the summer. It will now be $0.536 on July 1st, so gas prices will rise $0.02 per gallon. (Less than keeping up with 8.5% inflation)
They should have just pegged the tax as a percentage (you know like sales, income, property that we pay?) so we don’t have to deal with Fox banging the drum every year.
