If you buy fuel in each state you fuel tax will be very low
because the tax is paid at the pump
the fuel tax in nj is 18cents a gallon
the fuel tax in ny is 36 cents a gallon
if you get 6mpg you owe NJ 3 cents a mile or 18 cents per gallon
you owe ny 6 cents per mile or 36 cents per gallon
a gallon in nj is 2.18
a gallon in ny is2.36
if you just drive in jersey your tax is paid at the pump
if you drive in ny, NJ tax will cover on 18 cents
since ny tax is 36cents a gallon and NJ will only pay 18
you either have to buy fuel in NY so your tax is paid at the pump or
at the end of the month or quarter you the carrier must come up with the extra 18 cents a gallon
thats your IFTA fuel tax
every state has a different tax
so you try to pay at the pump in each state
