Billion Dollar Gas Tax Forecast for 1937
The American Petroleum Industries Committee predicts a record 1 billion dollar gasoline tax bill for 1937 driven by rising motor vehicle ownership and consumption. The report notes taxes may fall if highway financing remains secure, while noting the 1937 tax per average vehicle around 32 dollars and workers may spend one to two weeks of earnings to cover the tax. Gas tax receipts rose 11 percent in 1936 to about 873 million, with most states seeing increases.
