That's funny; every gas station I've been to has had an "Includes
Federal and State Taxes of xx.x cents" sticker somewhere in plain sight.
True, I can't readily get a breakdown of how much is federal and how much
is state, but at least I can get a reasonable idea of how much of the cost
is gas and how much is taxes. (And don't get me started on my belief that
the gas tax should be much higher than it is anyway...)
