Fuel taxes in the United States in 2015 accounted for 19% of the price of a gallon of gasoline, down from just under 30% in 1990, according to figures compiled by the US Department of Energy (DOE). By comparison, in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, taxes accounted for more than half of the total price for both 1990 and 2015.
