I would love to see a political map vs this map...might be a correlation there ;)  Also, with dwindling gas tax revenues, gps mileage tracking is jus around the corner. I would not be surprised if my great liberal state, CA, with its super majority liberals in the legilative branch & governor - we may be the 1st state to pass this..after all, Governor Moonbeam has to make up money for the bullet train to nowhere as his lasting legacy. *sigh*

Before you breathe a sigh of relief or go into a rage after looking at the map, please check the ACTUAL tax for your own state!

 

The gasoline tax number shown for Indiana on that map is about double the true current gas tax.

Indiana should be an 'aqua' state, not red.

Even in northwest Indiana where they pay 'Chicago' prices, the state sales tax is still not even close to 42 cents per gallon.

 

Indeed, the Indiana gas tax law changed on July 1st, 2014, but the gas tax has never approached 42 cents per gallon of gas, even when gas was selling for $4.299.

 

The Indiana sales tax is now calculated monthly, based upon a statewide average price for the prior month, then 7% (the state sales tax rate) of that prior-month average is added.

I wouldn't be surprised to see GPS tracking pass soon in the super majority conservative legislative & governor of my state of Utah.
