I read the editorial "Don't Abandon Gas Tax" (BDN, April 13) and was curious about how much we pay per gallon for taxes in Maine and how that compares to the rest of the country. What I found was outrageous and I think the people of Maine deserve to know as well.
Maine collects the seventh highest amount of tax per gallon in the country at 29.5 cents per gallon on gas and 30.7 cents per gallon on diesel.
