In 1949 Pennsylvania motorists paid five cents per gallon tax and ten dollars for car registration and one dollar for a driver's license. The speaker notes these same prices persist today, asking if this hints at future trends.
The piece outlines motor fuel taxes ranging from six to seven cents per gallon across many states, with registration and license fees varying by state. It discusses Pennsylvania’s highway plan needing about 250 million dollars with federal matching funds, and asserts cost increases will hit motorists, urging readers to accept higher payments to support a 12 year, 3 billion dollar construction program.
