Boy your gas is HIGH! (Buffalo, Tonawanda: house, taxes, prices)

Former resident there, were paying $1.99 for gas, feel sorry for folks there. No let up there.

We are paying Hawaii gas prices in Buffalo.

I travel a lot, and we have the highest prices, period..

Its a shame, there are a lot of folks struggling here, and its a tax on everyone.

The stations closest to my house are $2.779 and thats the lowest around. Were paying about 60 cents per gallon in taxes alone.

I have to say its much better than the $4.259 the same stations were charging in mid July.

I had heard that price gouging has been going on in the buffalo area. Everywhere else in western NY the gas prices have gone down..except in the buffalo area. I guess people want to make a quick buck while they can.

Here in Spokane WA it is 2:39 a gallon so I jumped over too Post Falls Idaho too fill up at 1:89 a gallon With a 35 gallon tank it sure helps. Sad too see back home is still taxed too death

Down to $2.579 in Tonawanda.

Why aren't gas taxes the same as regular taxes? Same reason why cigarette taxes are at a different rate?

In NY everyone takes a bite. Federal, state and county. Some places only have federal and others have lower rates from the state.

Gas on the Seneca Reservation was only $2 today. Too bad the tank was already full.

Raleigh NC is $1.87 a gallon today. Those Seneca Indians are raking up.
