States with the Highest Gasoline Taxes in 2025
In the United States, fuel prices can vary significantly depending on the state you're in. Some states are considering pay-per-mile programs, while others have already implemented major tax changes in 2025.
The federal gas tax remains at 18.4 cents per gallon, but some states charge more than twice this rate. In contrast, the federal tax on special fuel like diesel is 24.4 cents per gallon, and several states have diesel taxes much higher than this federal rate.
As of January 1, some states will impose higher gas taxes, making filling up at the pump more expensive. However, if you're willing to wait and can cross state lines, it might be worth it due to the difference in gas taxes.
Interestingly, in Germany, the federal government charges mineral oil taxes uniformly across all states. This means that no individual federal state has a higher or lower fuel tax rate on gasoline or diesel than others since this tax is a federal tax, not a state-based tax.
Additionally, some states on the list may have congestion toll charges for certain commutes. While these charges can add to the cost of commuting, they aim to reduce traffic congestion and improve infrastructure.
In summary, fuel prices can vary significantly depending on the state you're in. It's always a good idea to research fuel prices before embarking on a long journey to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.
