If you notice Washington is slightly behind Oregon in the survey. But that doesn't mean anything with taxes.

In Oregon we cannot pump our own gas. The gas MUST be pumped by an attendant. In Washington you can pump your own gas.

This means Oregon's "gas price" is less than Washington BEFORE you add labor for pumping. This translates to Washington TAX RATES being higher than Oregon.

BTW, only Oregon and New Jersey think their drivers aren't smart enough or safe enough to pump their own gas.

I don't know about New Jersey, but when I was driving in Oregon a few years ago, I was told the reason was to keep people working. Makes sense.
