DOE: Average annual gasoline taxes paid per vehicle, by state, 2019

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 3, 2019

Since taxes are charged on a per-gallon basis, someone with a more efficient vehicle will pay less in taxes over the course of a year. Based on average mpg and miles driven, a person owning a gasoline vehicle pays between $141 and $398 in fuel taxes each year, depending upon the state in which the fuel is purchased.

The taxes fall into three broad categories: vehicle acquisition (VAT, sales tax, registration tax); ownership (annual circulation tax, road tax); and motoring (fuel tax). Motor tax revenues collected by governments have increased by almost 3% compared to the previous year, and the grand total of €440.4

The report reviews policies that bear upon two categories of choice: travel choices such as how and how far to travel and vehicle purchase choices. It also discusses fuel taxes and prices, which affect both travel and vehicle choices. Medium-term potential exists in reallocating road space to extend bus and light rail provision.

Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. While CO 2 prices are equivalent to fuel taxes, CO 2 prices at their projected levels are far too small to create a significant incentive to drive less.

The policy package includes a new fuel economy readiness index, which measures the extent to which countries have implemented steps that will fully exploit the potential of existing fuel economy technologies and maximise their use in vehicles. Fiscal measures can have a strong influence on vehicle-purchasing behavior.

Better information, by itself, isn’t enough.

Significant engineering work will needed to produce an approach that results in fuel efficiency standards that are cost effective and that accurately represent the effects of fuel consumption reducing technologies. The report does not recommend a specific numerical standard. The report urges Congress to consider this approach.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. We used this information to estimate annual greenhouse-gas emissions from the fuel cycle, which depend partly on the average vehicle size and partly on how much vehicle efficiency improves over time.
