Pennsylvania has the highest gasoline tax in the country now, at $.58/gallon. I paid $3.09 yesterday here in S.E. PA.
To be fair, while PA did go for Trump it has largely turned to a Democrat state, with a Democrat Governor. Trump was the first Republican that won for Pres since Reagan. That was a long time ago. I am not saying that is the reason for high gasoline prices as the latest gas tax increase was a BIPARTISAN effort co-sponsored by my State Senator, a Republican, and co-sponsored by a Democrat, but signed by the previous Republican Governor.
Here, in this Progressive blue dot, in the sea of red around, besides the state gas tax, we have a city gas tax to pay for more socialism. which puts us in the $0.50's gas tax. Fuel is usually $0.10 or so cheaper when I go to my property in Gonzales Co.
I just checked the heat maps online (on albanygasprices.com, which is an offshoot of gasbuddy.com), and NO PLACE is posting $5.00 gas in NY. The highest prices I am seeing is between $3.00 and $4.00 in the lower Hudson Valley, mostly Westchester County. I am in Albany County and paid $2.93 for gas just yesterday.
LOL, I just read an article about a week ago that said Democrats are going to use gas prices to fight Republicans. The media must be starting now. Funny, the media is paid millions to get people worked up, OP gets paid nothing for being their parroting useful idiot.
Get ready, this is the Democrats and media's new attack.

PA governor is Democrat Tom Wolf's first budget included the largest state tax increase in PA history and he refused to sign the budget for over a year. He fought to raise taxes on PA residence and that included taxes on everyone. Republicans fought him and Gov Wolf was being called a one term governor. But now that he's up for re-election he's saying how much he cares about PA residents and the elderly being able to stay home but that's a lie.
Gov Wolf also wants a tax on natural gas which will increase the cost of heating and electricity generation. If Tom Wolf gets re-elected be ready for another tax fight and higher taxes. Tom Wolf is a New Yorker wanna be.
If you wanna pay higher taxes and higher fuel cost vote for Democrat Tom Wolf.
