Default Connecticut Gas Tax
Here's an FYI for all Connecticut drivers. The gas tax in our fair state is 25 cents / gallon. This is in addition to the federal tax which is 18.4 cents / gallon, for a total of 43.4 cents / gallon. But wait, there's more. Our greedy state also charges wholesalers 5% before the gas ever gets to the retailer. This 5% is a gold mine for the state since the state makes more when gas costs more.

This is why the guys in Hartford are never concerned with high gas prices. The higher the price, the more thay make!
