I am reminded every time I leave home . Most western States still do this. It gets even more confusing when you enter Oregon with 3 prices for diesle cash ,card(charge or atm ) PUC( for Comercial traffic pays a monthly/ annual road use tax instead of at the pump).
When I worked at U-Haul the 24' Ford moving truck would forcibly lift your foot /gas pedal at 60-65mph depending on the truck. No mater how hard you pushed it would push backon down slopes it would force compression braking.
The down side is you can't ecobomb in grade territory. No building speed to make the next hill. In the Serra Nevadas you'll be pulling the next hill7-14% grades several miles long in 2nd gear at 35-40mph.
Sounds like your in the flat lands so this feedback system may work for you
