Theoretical Floor For Price Of Gasoline In Oklahoma City -- March 25, 2020

Oklahoma gasoline federal and state tax:
  • federal: 18.4 cents/gallon
  • state: 20 cents/gallon
  • total: 38.4 cents/gallon

So, the federal tax on gasoline in Oklahoma City is now: 18.4 / 99 = almost 20%. Although, wouldn't is be more correct to figure it this way?
  • 99 cents - 38.4 cents = 60.6 cents
  • federal: 18.4 / 60.6 =  a 30% tax on gasoline
  • state: 20 / 60.6 =  a 33% tax on gasoline
  • combined: 38.4 / 60.6 = 63% tax on gasoline
