GST is also like the Californian Sales Tax (or Washington, or whatever). Unlike the USA, the Federal government is in control of the taxation - the individual states don't get to set taxation policy - but they can set levies on things like petroleum, land and housing sales, etc.
Per pump it works out to about $111US delivered, which is about the same as what someone in the USA would pay if they ordered a single pump from them.
