Heavy Gas Tax Favored by House Panel
The House Ways and Means Committee weighs a sweeping energy plan taxing heavy gasoline use, lifting the current 4 cent rate by 7 to 8 cents across several dates totaling 37 cents, with a $33.60 tax credit for adults. It also proposes high penalties on inefficient 1977 model cars, up to $1,000 for under 16 mpg by 1981, while Treasury Chief Simon cautions against plans burdening gasoline consumers and supports oil import taxation.
