Or this. Gas prices are all a scam **

That's a shame**

Can attest the tax effect in PA

That was the way around here forever in NC vs SC pump prices, but
PhotoHokieNC • 04/24/26 04:15 PM ET
That would make sense except that ALL our tank farms

Aha!! That’s very likely it!! Thanks!!**

State Fuel taxes to fund roads. **

Why higjer in an area of far fewer paving projects?**
