This article focuses on natural gas prices in New York. New York has the highest average gas prices in the United States. Gasoline is taxed at seven different intervals: four times by the federal government through a federal excise tax, a petroleum business tax, a petroleum testing fee, and an oil spill fund fee, a 4 percent state sales tax, a 4-percent tax levied by localities, and an additional excise tax. The average price for a gallon of gas in New York is now hovering around $3 a gallon. Economic and energy-supply analysts predict that regular unleaded gas will continue to go up. |
