RI gas taxes are $.075/gal higher than MA. Compared to other states, Mass gas taxes are actually pretty low...

Compared to the population centers in the north east, only NJ has low gas taxes. PA, NY, CT, RI and NH are all much higher.

Comparing Mass to Alaska or Texas doesn't make a lot of sense as these are production areas and a bit far a drive to fill up.
