*purchase
A single, unleaded fuel purchase on 3/31 in Tallahassee, FL has the following info, in case anyone wondered what kind of taxes are paid (I could give percentages, but I figure a real-world example can give a better idea):
8.82 gallons at $3.60/gallon = $31.75
Federal excise fuel tax: $1.61
State excise fuel tax: $0.35
State sales tax: $1.08
County excise fuel tax: $0.09
County sales tax: $0.53
County special fuel** tax: $0.60
Total taxes: $4.26 (or about 13.4% of your total purchase)
For a Florida state government vehicle fuel purchase, Fed excise tax, $1.61 of that, is exempt/removed.
**Special fuel= fuel with ethanol, which is to some extent, all fuel nowadays
Taxes differ county-to-county, and state-to-state.
