Are taxes included in fuel prices?
I'm planning a road trip through SW USA. One of the decision factors on which car to rent is the estimated fuel cost. I don't mind paying some extra $ for a more luxury ride, but it has to stay within limits.
I checked http://www.vegasgasprices.com/index.aspx?fuel=A to have an idea on current fuel prices, but I was wondering if I have to add another e.g. 10% tax (like you do with hotels) or if this is the real price I'll pay at the pump?
If I make a rough calculation (avg 3.5$/gallon, 23 mpg (*) for standard SUV, 3000 miles) I'm at 'only' 450$ for fuel.
(*): real data from http://www.fuelly.com/car/chevrolet/equinox, seems more likely than the numbers car dealers give.
