As far as I know, which is not very far, the state and town and county employees use DOT gas cards to access the gas and diesel pumps for their state, town, and county vehicles. It tells the DOT who is purchasing the gas, but cannot be used at any other gas station like Exxon, Irving, or Citgo. Paying 2.74/gal at a DOT fuel station is their only place to gas/diesel up ...... such a deal ...... 2.74 till July 31, 2017.

Also, something about the state and federal gasoline excise taxes ...... could well be the municipal government agencies are exempt from the excise taxes, and all the Dept of Transportation gas that gets pumped into an agency vehicle is tax exempt, or something!

Gasoline today is selling for 1.979 at the two gas stations, Irving and Citgo, at Rt 93, exit 25-Holderness ...... which is way less than the state price of 2.74 ... which probably excludes the excise taxes as well.
