Gas tax hike adds 4.3 cents at pumps Friday
Friction rises as a federal tax increases gasoline and diesel prices by 4.3 cents per gallon this Friday. A further rise of about 5 cents or more may occur on Nov 1 when an additive required by the Clean Air Act is added to gasoline through February. Station operators expect most or all of both increases to be passed to consumers. Total federal and state taxes would reach 42 cents per gallon, with state taxes alone at 23.5 cents. Marquee quotes from station managers note the burden on customers and the likelihood prices will rise again.
