Here is the federal Energy Information Administration’s website stating the federal tax on gasoline is 18.3 cents per gallon. On top of that, states will add taxes on top. My state of North Carolina currently has a 40.65 cent per gallon tax on gasoline. Which works out to be 58.95 cents per gallon in tax.
It has nothing to do with tax. It’s just to make the price look one smaller. May I ask where you were taught it had anything to do with tax?
