5.5%
Everywhere in Texas, car
owners pay 90^ tax on. every
10 gallons of gasoline they buy.
Does a tax this high—on a
basic commodity like gasoline
—really make sense? Gasoline
taxes across the nation amount
to a 50% sales tax-and that’s
five times as high as the tax
rate on luxuries like diamonds
and mink coats.
How did gasoline taxes get,
so high? Well, since World
War II, there have been three
increases in the federal gaso-
line tax alone. This brought the
Federal tax to 4 cents a gallon, in addition to the State
tax of 5 cents a gallon.
Looking at it another way, in the last ten years gaso-
line taxes have skyrocketed 51% —yet the price erf gaso-
line itself has risen only 5.5% during the same period.
$78 a year for gasoline taxesl Gallon by gallea,
these taxes add up to a lot of money. Each year the
average motor vehicle owner in this state pays $7$ for
gasoline taxes alone. That's just a few dollars tm tfca*
the average week’s pay for most people!
Your gasoline dealer—who must collect these taxes from
you—,feels that gasoline taxes are much too high. Mora
and more, thinking people are coming to agree. What do
you think?
Gasoline taxes
up 51%
In ten years
HIGHWAYS AND GASOLINE TAXES
Your gasoline retailer, naturally, favors construction of
the roads that the motoring public needs. He believes
in fair and reasonable taxation for this purpose but
feels that taxes on gasoline have now reached unreason-
ably high levels. He also believes that all special taxes
on the motorist should be used only for highway pur-
poses. Yet last year, out of every automobile tax dollar
collected by the Federal Government from highway
users, more than 40 cents went for non-highway pur-
poses. If these automotive tax revenues were dedicated
for highway purposes, there would be no need for the
latest increase in the federal gasoline tax.
