When you're trying to decide between buying fuel in one state compared to another state, you need to subtract the state fuel tax, from the retail price you pay for the fuel, in order to get the net price.
This is because with the IFTA policy that is currently in place, you are being taxed on which states the fuel is being used in, not where it's purchased. Because of this, fuel taxes are out of the equation, because they are being paid anyways. This means you might as well pay for fuel in the state where the net price is going to be the lowest, not the retail price. Looking at the net price of fuel will give you an accurate comparison between each state.
This means that even if a state has a cheaper retail price of fuel, it may be more expensive to buy fuel there in the long run if the net price is higher. Judging by the retail cost, you would fuel up in Colorado.
Considering that you will be paying the Nebraska fuel tax anyway when you drive across Nebraska, it would be cheaper to fuel up in Nebraska. When thinking about this, the most important thing to keep in mind is, no matter what, you are paying the fuel taxes in the state you're driving in.
