The commerce clause in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce and prohibits states from discriminating against or burdening out-of-state commerce. In this case, charging an extra tax on gasoline sold to trucks with out-of-state license plates would be discriminatory and a violation of the commerce clause.
