#PA has the 2nd highest gas tax in the COUNTRY. Very simply, we could lower your price at the pump by $.58 a gallon. PA State Rep. Abby Major's bill will put a 6-month gas tax holiday in place just in time for summer travel.

PA has the 2nd-highest gas tax in U.S. at 57.6 cents/gal & highest diesel fuel tax at 74.1 cents/gal. This was originally enacted to fix roads/bridges. Either fix our roads or give it back! I support PA Rep. Abby Major's bill to set a 6-month gas tax holiday for summer travel.
