Well it all depends in which State the main office is, for Example Dell is in TX and Texas requires to charge tax no matter which state you live in, some other states like NJ only charge tax to NJ residents.

Fuel prices are set by OPEC (price per barrel.)  They are most reasonable in the US because our government subsidizes what we pay.  OPEC sucks, they won't allow any other petrol-bearing nations to offer a lesser fee.  They are too powerful.

California definitely has the higher cost of living.  The sales tax you pay is can be as high as 8.75%.  Here in Ohio the sales tax is usually no higher than 7%.  Gas in some parts of California is well over $3.00 a gallon.  Gas in Cincinnati yesterday was $2.69.  Housing is much more expensive in California.  My parents were wanting to retire in southern California and gave that up since they could only buy a shack for the same price their house is here in Ohio.

Is it really that cheap in America.  I find it very difficult to convert a foreign gas cost due to the difference in monetary value & measurement (gallon vs litre).\n\nIf it is truly cheaper it probably has to do with the fact that we have a lot of powerhouses in the oil industry in our back pockets.  And those that we don't we intend to change by overthrowing their gov'ts.  Truthfully though, in reading up further on it its about the way a gov't is set up:\n\nThe main factor in price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc.

Most American taxpayers would get $100 rebate checks to offset the pain of higher pump prices for gasoline, under an amendment Senate Republicans hope to bring to a vote soon.\n\nHowever, the GOP energy package may face tough sledding because it also includes a controversial proposal to open part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil exploration, which most Democrats and some moderate Republicans oppose.\n\nDemocrats are also expected to offer their own competing proposal, as members of both parties jockey for political position on the gas price issue.\n\n"Our plan would give taxpayers a hundred dollar gas tax holiday rebate check to help ease the pain that they're feeling at the pump," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist announced Thursday. \n\n"It also includes strong federal anti-price gouging protection to protect consumers against anti-competitive behavior by oil companies or other suppliers of gasoline. Our free market system works, but it works best when there's full accountability and full transparency." \n\nFrist said the rebates would go to single taxpayers making less than $125,000 per year, and couples making less than $150,000.\n\nRepublican senators said they hoped soaring gas prices would inspire Democrats to support their proposals.\n\n"A lot of these other things we're talking about today, supply, like ANWR, have had Democrats oppose them in the past, when gas was $1.25, $1.50. Gas is now $3," said John Thune, R-South Dakota. "I would expect that there would be a lot more bipartisan support for proposals that would increase supply in this country."\n\n"We have been trying for years to do something about supply without their help. I hope now that we'll have their help," he added.\n\nBut Democrats seemed unimpressed.\n\n"It's designed to protect Big Oil while mistakenly believing that drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will solve America's energy problems," Jim Manley, a spokesman for Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada, told The Associated Press.\n\nThe energy package, sponsored by Sens. Charles Grassley of Iowa, Ted Stevens of Alaska, Pete Domenici of New Mexico and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, will be offered as an amendment to an emergency spending measure now before the Senate funding the Iraq war and hurricane relief, according to a senior GOP leadership aide.\n\nUnder Senate rules, either the GOP amendment or the Democratic alternative would probably need 60 votes to pass, which is considered unlikely. However, the amendments would give senators a change to cast votes on measures designed to help constituents being hit by high gas prices.\n\nAs outlined by Frist and other GOP senators, the energy package would give taxpayers a $100 rebate, repeal tax incentives for oil companies and allow the Federal Trade Commission to prosecute retailers unlawfully inflating the price of gasoline.\n\nThe measure would also give the Transportation Department authority to issue fuel efficiency standards for passenger vehicles, expand tax incentives for the use of hybrid vehicles and push for more research into alternative fuels and expansion of existing oil refineries.\n\nThe GOP senators are also calling on the Bush administration to suspend deposits into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for six months to increase the nation's oil supply. President Bush announced Tuesday that he would halt new deposits into the reserve until after the summer driving season.\n\nOn the other side of the aisle, Democrats on Wednesday called for a new energy bill and federal legislation to punish price gougers.\n\n"There's no reason why we can't put forth a real energy policy that addresses the needs of this nation," said Rep. Bart Stupak, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, "from gouging to market manipulation to biofuels. We can do it."\n\nAnd leaders of the Senate Finance Com

To answer your question, nothing.\n\nIf you want more money in your pocket, contact your Senators and Representative and tell them you want:\n\n1.  The federal gasoline tax tax repealed.\n2.  The Fair Tax enacted. http://fairtaxgroups.com/\n3.  The state gasoline tax repealed (state reps, obviously).\n\nFor tyreek_thefreak: Global warming is NOT caused by driving a car.  Global warming has been going on for over 20,000 years.  Ever hear of the Ice Age?  Much of the U.S. was covered in 100 feet of ice.  Thank God for global warming.

Being in sales, the only tax you would have to pay is Florida tax if this company you ordered from charges tax.\nThey cannot charge you tax of their own state which you are not in. Now, if you're getting the item shipped to somewhere in PA, then yes, you'd have to pay.\nBasically, you pay tax (if charged) to whatever state you're shipping to.\nJust to be sure, I would check with the company or organization you are ordering from. Many companies have their own policies.

it's $3.89 a gallon for unleaded gas last time i filled up but that was more than a week ago. i live in the chicago suburbs. illinois is number 8 out of 11 states w/ the highest gas rates, so says the news. district of columbia, new york and arizona are in the top three, i think.\n\nwtf is the deal w/ diesel being more than unleaded. it used to be less than unleaded and this should be rightly so since diesel is actually a by-product of unleaded gas, so it should be less. i'm not totally complaining since i don't have a diesel engine, but this whole gas price thing just doesn't make sense. i agree: what the hell is up with this?

A gallon of gas in Brazil is about 4$.  It's Venezuela that's the cheap one because the government heavily subsizdizes gas there.  The price is a mere 15 cents or around there.

it means they charge you .0090 extra cents per gallon. If the price says $1.00 9/10  it means they actually charge $1.009. Since their machines round up the price, it would cost you $1.01 to buy 1 gallon of gas.

Are you people serious? our oil and gasoline is Subsidized by the US government.  While your crying about $3 a gallon for gasoline, Europe is paying upwards of $7 a liter for their petrol.  The government is the only thing keeping you driving the 4X4 and giant SUV, wake up.\n\nEdit: and while your on Yahoo Answers moaning to all of your "friends" about how evil a democracy the US gov't is, they are loosening the restrictions on your car's waste output, and opening the countries fuel supply for personal use so YOU don't have to ride your bike to the mall tomorrow.\n\nEdit2: YES they CAN use the excuse they cannot convert oil->gasoline.  We are currently refining at MAX capacity (when weather systems allow) We havn't made a new refinery since the 70s, and since it take almost 20 YEARS to complete a new refinery, don't hold your breath. (10 years to complete an oil rig)  Also, why the hell would Exon make a new refinery? From a business standpoint, they have NO motivation to do so, they are getting prime price for their product.

As I recall, the price went to about .75 to .85 per gallon.  This was about the time I went off to college and I remember thinking how hard it was going to be to make my $ stretch.

The guy that owns the pump.\n\nHe can't set it just any way he wants, though.  Too high and nobody will buy from him.  Too low and he will lose money and soon go out of business.\n\nThe cost of gasoline is largely determined by four components: cost of crude oil (about 45%), taxes (about 25%), refining costs (about 18%), and distribution and marketing costs (about 12%).  So, when the price of oil goes up, so does the price of gasoline.  When refining costs go up, so does gasoline.

It depends on were you live. Taxes are different in different states.

It depends on the local sales tax rate--you pay the sales tax rate for the area where the vehicle has been registered (this is true not just in Texas but everywhere else). I was moving to the Dallas area (sales tax = 8.250%) but purchased my car in San Antonio before I left (sales tax = 7.750%) since the sales tax would be a bit cheaper.
