New Jersey avg
New Jersey state gas tax: 42¢/gal · Federal tax: 18.4¢/gal · Total tax: ~60¢/gal
New Jersey has high gas taxes but benefits from proximity to the large Philadelphia and New York refinery complexes. The state's high population density means more competing stations, which helps moderate prices somewhat. New Jersey is one of two states where it is illegal to pump your own gas, which adds labor cost to prices.
