Pennsylvania Drivers: You're Going To Be Paying More At The Pump Soon

You'd better fill up your vehicles, gas cans, snow blowers and anything else that guzzles gasoline before January, Pennsylvanians. The gas tax is going up.

According to the Associated Press, as of Jan. 1 the Keystone State's gas tax will increase by about 8 cents as part of a 2013 transportation bill signed by former Gov. Tom Corbett that aimed to pump $2.3 billion into PA's transportation infrastructure.

The hike is the third and final increase under the bill, with the first occurring when the bill was signed and the second in Jan. 1, 2015.

With state and federal taxes, Pennsylvanians are paying the highest gas taxes in the country, and the new hike will make the total tax per gallon 78 cents, according to AP.
