Using Less Gas
State Comptroller Bob Bul-
lock Thursday said during
the past year gasoline com-
sumption in Texas took a
nosedive at a time when
the number of vehicles on'
the state’s roads increased.
He said during the state's
past fiscal year, which end-
ed August 31, Texas motor-
ists consumed 8 billion gal- ,
Ions of gasoline.
Figures for the 1979 fiscal
year show that more than
8.5 billion gallons of gaso-
line were sold in Texas and
about the same amount sold
in 1978.
Bullock put total vehicle
registration in Texas for the
1980 fiscal year at 11. 9 mil-
lion vehicles, compared to
10 million vehicles on Texas
roads during 1979.
"A half billion gallon drop
is significant at a time when
the state's car and truck
population is skyrocketing, "
Bullock said.
"Our analysis doesn't show
whether people are driving
less or getting better mile-
age, but they are definitely
buying less gas," he said.
Texas motorists used be-
tween 600 and 700 million
gallons of gasoline a month,
Bullock said. ,
Bullock said his office col-
lected $399. 4 million in
gasoline taxes during the
past year, compared to
$41 7 million turned into the
state during 1979.
He said three-quarters of
the tax goes to the highway
fund and one-quarter is put
into the Available School
Fund.
Gasoline is taxed at five
cents a gallon and diesel
fuel is taxed at six and a-
half cents a gallon, accord-
ing to Bullock.
Diesel fuel tax revenues
amounted to more than
$78 million during fiscal
1980, compared to $70. 7
million during 1979.
About 5 billion gallons of
diesel fuel were sold in Tex-
as last year, Bullock said.
A comparison of vehicles
and consumption of gasoline
for 1980 shows the "average"
automobile or truck used
680 gallons of gasoline dur-
ing the 12-month period.
Registered vehicles and
gasoline consumed during
1979 "averages" out to 843
gallons a vear.
