Senators Consider Gas Tax Shift To Percentage Basis
Thane Davis of Hyannis on the Nebraska Highway Advisory Commission says a 1974 bill would tax gasoline as a percentage of price rather than per gallon. The current 8 1/2 cent per gallon levy yields over 20 percent of the fuel’s retail price, a change could boost revenue amid shortages and inflation. Davis notes road funding may fall and says the state must build the same miles, while another official suggests raising the rate to 10 1/2 cents per gallon to offset declines.
