On Jan. 1, North Carolina’s state gas tax will adjust upward by another 3.9 cents per gallon. The new state gas tax rate of 38.9 cents per gallon will be an all-time high for the state, and rank as fifth highest in the nation. North Carolina will round out the top five gas taxers that includes California, Connecticut, New York and Hawaii.
State lawmakers failed to act to prevent this tax hike in November when the state House approved a cap of 35 cents for the tax, but the Senate fled town before taking up the bill.
