Carter gas guzzler tax gains and rebates rejected in House
President Carter's plan for a gas guzzler tax survived committee tests but rebates for fuel efficient cars failed. The Ways and Means panel rejected removing the tax and defeated a $500 rebate proposal 31 to 5. Rostenkowski offered a watered down tax delaying until 1979 and targeting cars under 15 mpg, while Carter’s would start 1978 with under 18 mpg. White House aides argued the plan fair to industry though wary of foreign competition.
