   New York charges a 17.3-cent charge per gallon for the petroleum business tax.   
   There is an 8-cent motor fuel tax. The state sales tax amounts to 8 cents per   
   gallon. There is also a Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District Sales   
   Tax of three-quarters    
   of a cent per gallon.   
      
      
   Try answering the question about the vagrant who pulled the emergency   
   break today after pissing on the train?
