Premium Fuel + Car Wash Receipt Example
This receipt documents a premium 93 octane fill-up at Pump 3 combined with an Ultimate car wash add-on purchased at the same pump. The tank accepted 10.476 gallons at $4.199 per gallon ($43.99) and the car wash was selected from the pump interface at $18.00. Because the car wash is a retail service rather than a fuel product, it is subject to standard state sales tax, while the fuel is not. Both charges appear on one receipt with a single Amex payment.
This premium fuel with car wash receipt documents 13.2 gallons of premium 91 at $4.19/gal ($55.31) plus a full-service car wash ($15), totaling $70.31 at a combined gas station and car wash location.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this premium fuel + car wash receipt show?
This receipt shows two line items: PREMIUM UNLEADED 93: 10.476 GAL @ $4.199/GAL = $43.99 and ULTIMATE CAR WASH = $18.00. The fuel total of $43.99 has fuel excise taxes already included in the per-gallon price (no additional sales tax on fuel). The car wash is a retail service taxed at the standard state sales tax rate of 7% ($1.26), producing a grand total of $63.25 paid by Amex card. The fuel tax disclosure below the total shows the federal ($0.1840/gal) and state ($0.2800/gal) excise rates.
How is a car wash taxed differently from fuel on the same receipt?
Fuel is subject to per-gallon federal and state excise taxes that are already included in the pump price, no additional sales tax is applied to fuel at the register. A car wash is a retail service, not a fuel product, so it is subject to the standard state sales tax rate. When a customer purchases both at the pump, the receipt shows the fuel total (excise tax included, no sales tax) and the car wash total (plus sales tax) as separate line items before a combined grand total.
What is an Ultimate car wash compared to a basic wash?
Gas stations typically offer tiered car wash packages. A basic wash ($5–$9) covers a soap rinse and air dry. An Ultimate or Platinum wash ($15–$22) adds underbody rinse, tire shine, triple foam conditioner, clear coat protectant, and spot-free rinse. The wash level purchased appears by name on the receipt (ULTIMATE WASH, PLATINUM WASH, or BASIC WASH) so the tier is documented for expense reporting and vehicle maintenance records.
