With the #Indiana #gas #Tax going up next month, it seems like an appropriate time to post an updated graph of how gasoline taxes in Indiana have changed over time. In July 2023, #Hoosiers will pay $0.729/gal or 40% more than the the $0.522/gal they paid in July 2015.

#Indiana is one of a handful of states which imposes TWO taxes on #gasoline :
- The first is a fixed state tax (which rose to $0.340/gal in July).
- The second is a percentage use tax equal to 7% of the average price of gas in the sate (which will rise to $0.205 in July).

The rising #Tax on #gasoline in #Indiana over recent decades has been entirely due to state policy. 75% of the tax you pay at the pump now goes to the state. The Federal tax on gasoline hasn't risen since 1993.

Per the EIA, as of July 2022 (latest available), #Indiana had the THIRD HIGHEST total #gasoline #taxes of all US states. We're only a nose behind Illinois and California, while #Kentucky is 31st with 46% less tax/gallon than Indiana.

Still a better deal for Chicagoans if they want to make that drive to fill up

Not nearly as certain a thing as it used to be. There were significant portions of last year where the average retail price (including taxes) was LOWER in the Chicago area than Northwest Indiana.
