NextImg:Wisconsin ranks 20th nationwide in gas tax

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s 32.9-cent gas tax ranks it 20th in the country, according to a new report from The Tax Foundation.

The taxes run the gamut from 8.9 cents in Alaska to 70.9 cents per gallon in California.

Neighboring Illinois ranks second at 66.4 cents while Indiana is fifth at 54.5 cents, Michigan is sixth at 48.2 cents and Ohio is 15th at 38.5 cents.

As of Wednesday, gas prices averaged $2.98 in the state compared to a $3.19 average nationwide, according to the American Automobile Association.

Part of the recent gas price increase heading into the Labor Day holiday was flooding at the BP Whiting Refinery in Indiana, which led to increases throughout the Great Lakes region, according to AAA.

But an Aug. 27 restart of the refinery led to relief in the Great Lakes area, while Ohio dropping 19 cents per gallon over the week as of Tuesday and both Michigan and Indiana seeing 14 cent week-over-week price per gallon drops.

Overall, it was the lowest price average nationwide for the Labor Day weekend since 2020.

“This caps off the most affordable summer at the pump since 2021, with motorists spending $11.3 billion less on gasoline compared to last year,” GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan wrote. “While summer may be in the rearview mirror, low gas prices aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, so long as we avoid major hurricanes or other disruptions, we’re on solid footing to see the national average dip to $2.99 per gallon this fall.”

The lowest gas price reported in the state on Wednesday was $2.69 at a Citgo in Green Bay.

There were five gas stations in Wisconsin tied for the state’s second-lowest reported price of $2.74 per gallon on Wednesday, including the Costco in Sun Prairie, BPs in Wheeler and Baraboo, Countryside in Strum and Phillips 66 in Baraboo.
