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!

Have you been there? The infrastructure lives up to that rate. You get what you pay for  |

Actually I have driven on our roads and the roads in Venezuela... grass is always greener. They did not have the winter we had though.  For arguments sake, name a country with superior roads that you have driven on? |

The state roads in Connecticut are pretty decent. I wish I could get the speed bumps milled on I95 west of New Haven, the Merritt and Wilbur Cross though. The town to avoid is Stamford, the worst roads in the state.

Forget countries, how apples to apples, how about state to state, maybe even winter to winter!!
OK New Hampshire for example, much worse winters and far better roads! |

Here in good old Australia.....Government fuel Excise is 38.143 cents PER LITRE + 10% of the final Retail price so typically our overall TAX component is 49 cents a LITRE

And the traffic count in NH? Population etc. Drive 5 trucks down the road, now drive 5000 ... as we say, move there if it is better  but we all want to be here.

Have you driven RI roads. Ct doesn't pay two police to sit on every construction job. It's obvious our road money goes much further. |

Forget the price and just drive. It's not gonna do any good to worry about something you can't do anything about. I don't like it any better than you do. Just be glad you can afford a Cobra and the gas to run it.

Originally it was the the State Lottery that was started to pay for our roads. After the Mianus River Bridge gave way our roads were going to be perfect! Another fund raided for something stupid. Oh well Drive fast and have fun and when it gets too expensive for the SUV's then all the more for me! LOL
