The best info I can find from multiple sources says that you pay anywhere from 26.4cents (AK) to 67.0 (CA) per gallon in taxes when you buy gasoline. The Government (state, federal) make more money per gallon than the oil company does and then at the end of the day taxes the oil company for the profits they did make for the sale of the gasoline.

Surprisingly enough, 67.0 cents per gallon is not even close to the maximum.  Great Britian has equivalent of about $3 per gallon in gas taxes PLUS they charge their VAT of 20% on gasoline.
