Certainly not most, but a few:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_tax#United_States

Fuel taxes in the United States  vary by state. For the first quarter of 2009, the mean state gasoline tax is 27.2 cents per US gallon, plus 18.4 cents per US gallon federal tax making the total 45.6 cents per US gallon (12.0 ¢/L). For diesel, the mean state tax is 26.6 cents per US gallon plus an additional 24.4 cents per US gallon federal tax making the total 50.8 cents US per gallon (13.4 ¢/L).[7]  There are also a few states that charge sales tax on top of the excise taxes and the retail price.

Unfortunately it doesn't list which states do.  However, I seem to recall that, as a kid in the 70s, Indiana charged sales tax on the whole price including the state and federal gas taxes.  Or as my Dad said, "Tax on Tax"

Let's see here- if you scroll through the PDF on this page
http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/245.html

You see as note L  

States that fully or partially apply general sales taxes to gasoline: CA, CO, GA, IL, IN, MI, NY. Rates shown are as of April 3, 2009.

It doesn't say that means you pay extra after the purchase price at the pump- that would seem awfully hard to do in this day and age with everyone paying at the pump (the price would have to auto-jump after you purchase gas, which would probably piss off just about every out-of-stater). I know in Colorado it's included in the displayed fuel price, but I haven't filled up lately in any of those other states.

I'd suspect that price is these days included in the display price, but I'm not positive of that. According to this Wikpedia article, sales tax is included in the raw purchase price in California (which I seem to recall as the case, but I haven't purchased fuel or seen a fuel purchase firsthand in California in several years), but again no source.

EDIT AGAIN: And...here it is for California- another PDF

Sales tax reimbursement will be deemed included in the total price per gallon of gasoline dispensed through an apparatus on which there is a price per gallon display including all taxes as required by Business and Professions Code Section 13470.

EDIT: Also included in display price in Indiana now, according to this Indiana Dept of Revenue PDF

The pump price of all gasoline sold through a stationary
metered pump must include the total price per unit, including state
sales tax.

Thanks for researching it further.

I was going to say that the sales tax was included in the price.  My goof.

And now you have Sheetz pretty close by to where you live.

Last time I was up I-64, I remember seeing a new sign on the I-64 services guide signs for a Sheetz at either Hurricane or the WV 34 Winfield exit (can't remember for sure which exit it was). Prior to that the one closest to Charleston had been at Milton.

It at the Hurricane exit, Exit 34.  Also at the Huntington Mall, Milton, and off the West Huntington exit.   Although none of these show up on the current map they give away in the stores, and the Hurricane one is not on the website (the website has random "dots" that are supposed to be store locations that are 100s of miles off in some cases).

Local rumor is that they are heading east on 64.  The new Exit 40 (my home exit), which is the junction of US 35, is a gold mine (particularly if the state tolls 35).  Only businesses are a Speedway and a mom-and-pop Dairy Queen that are over a half-mile from the exit in the wrong direction, but both are far busier than they were before the exit openned.  Random interstate traffic.  The county has zoned everything "as is" meaning only places with businesses today are zoned for business, but that includes several mom-and-pop places, such as a hardware store, whose highest economic use would now be a highway focused business.

You don't pay additional sales tax on gas in any state to my knowledge (and definitely not Washington or Idaho)- it's pretty much the only product one can buy in which all tax is included in the purchase price. I don't even know that regular sales tax is even part of the price of gas in most states- gas is usually taxed completely separately from everything else.

Michigan has sales tax on gasoline, and this is calculated from the total cost including the gas taxes and then included in the pump price. In essence, a portion of it is a tax on tax. But then I suppose this happens on every product which sales tax is applied when you figure embedded taxes the retailers pass on to consumers.

This is also a feature of the Value Added Tax that is popular in Europe and, IIRC, Canada.  If I understand it correctly, the VAT gets added multiple times from manufacturer to consumer.

Those of you who live where there is a VAT can give more details and correct me where I'm mistaken.

MTO.  No competition.  I wish we had Sheetz in Columbus...always a treat when traveling to PA, MD, or WV.

And they are now showing up in VA. (Just saw one in Wytheville, VA)

They've been in VA for years.  I know the one in Colonial Heights has been open for over 5 years and there's been on in Chester for at least 2 and I know I've seen a bunch more.

There's a lot of them in VA, just not as many as there are in PA.

Well, I only see 2 Sheetz's after I leave PA heading South along I-79 > US-19 > I-77.  One in Weston, WV and the one that I mentioned above in Wytheville, VA.

There is one just off the Morgantown exit (the first exit in WV heading south)

Figures I'd miss one. lol.  Guess that's because I never stop in the Morgantown area (except for the WV Welcome Center on I-79).

There are 28 locations in West Virginia, 57 in Virginia, and not surprising 203 in Sheetz's home state.
