Because we had Smoke & Mirrors Chris Christie, he siphoned off all of our transportation trust fund money to give people the illusion that he was fiscally conservative. He cut over a billion dollars in taxes for the 1% each year, lost $400M Race-to-the-Top money because he fucked up, let Exxon-Mobile out of an $9 Billion settlement for their toxic waste sites the same day he went to dinner with their execs, the fucker even stole money from the EMT rescue fund. If there was an old ladies & young children with cancer fund, he would have wiped that one out too....

So he needed to raise our gas tax from the lowest in the country from 14.5 cents/gallon to 41.5 cents/gallon.


So, when figuring out how much gas costs, take into account the state gas tax, as that varies drastically.
