In fiscal 1992, sales, gasoline, and cigarette taxes rose by 825.7 million, 367.2 million, and 136.4 million respectively, with many areas also layering local levies on top of state rates. States vary widely with sales taxes from 0 to 7 percent and gasoline taxes commonly up, while cigarette taxes range from 2.5 cents to 50 cents per pack.
