are a group of fish that are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation....
Of course, at the pump, youâll also tack on that 18.3 cents per gallon federal gas tax. Since tax is included in the price you actually pay, it looks like this: $3.49 (what I paid at the pump on yesterday in Pennsylvania) = $.183 in federal gas + $.323 in PA state taxes + 2.984 as the âpriceâ of my gas
Why aren't my 18.4 cents enough? The federal gas tax has funded infrastructure since 1931, when the government added a single cent to the price of each gallon sold. Today, your 18.4 cents (24.4 if you're burning diesel) go to the Highway Trust Fund, the bank account that funds surface transportation like roads and mass transit. (You also pay state gas taxes, ranging from 59 cents in Pennsylvania to 16.8 cents in South Carolina. Those pennies go to support local infrastructure, like the street you live on.)
