Where Your Gas Money's Going

That's the headline on a post at this morning's WSJ Energy Roundup.
To which I can only add:

   Let’s see:

   * federal gas tax (18.4 cents per gallon)
   * state gas tax (NY = 31.9 cents per gallon)
   * state sales tax (NY = 8.3 cents per gallon)
   * state spill tax (NY = 0.3 cents per gallon)
   * state petroleum testing fee (NY = 0.5 cents per gallon)
   * county taxes (NY avg. = 7.9 cents per gallon).

   That’s 67.3 cents per gallon, or about 22% of $3.05 per gallon of gas. I’ve seen estimates that Exxon earns from 5 to 13 cents per gallon in profit.

   I support higher gas taxes, something unlikely to happen if the debate is framed by Schumer.
