Pennsylvania state gas tax: 58¢/gal · Federal tax: 18.4¢/gal · Total tax: ~76¢/gal
Pennsylvania has the highest state gas tax in the country, which significantly inflates prices despite the state having major refinery capacity near Philadelphia. Philadelphia metro prices are lower because of refinery proximity, but Pittsburgh and rural Pennsylvania pay more. The state gas tax funds one of the nation's largest highway budgets.
