Monthly Motor Fuel Reported by States January 2020 U. S. Department of Transportation MONTHLY MOTOR FUEL Federal Highway Administration REPORTED BY STATES Office of Highway Policy Information Created On: 6/16/2020 JANUARY 2020 NATIONAL GASOLINE SALES JANUARY 2019 vs. 2020 CHANGE FOR U.S. 0.9% NORTHEAST NORTH CENTRAL WEST -6.2% 0.8% 0.7% 5.0% 2.4% SOUTH ATLANTIC SOUTH GULF BASED ON REPORTED AND ESTIMATED 2020 DATA. SEE NOTICE ON PAGE 2. Publication No. FHWA-PL-20-009 ELECTRONIC TABLES AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET The tables in this report can be found each month on the Office of Highway Policy Information webpage under Products and Publications. The publication is entitled "Monthly Motor Fuel Reported by States." The Address is: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/mmfr/mmfrpage.htm QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REPORT If you have questions concerning the report, contact: Tiffany Presmy Federal Highway Administration Office of Highway Policy Information (HPPI) 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Washington, DC 20590 Telephone: 202-366-5024 E-Mail: [email protected] IMPORTANT NOTICE The Monthly Motor Fuel Reported by States report is only available on the FHWA Office of Highway Policy Information Website at the following address: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/mmfr/mmfrpage.htm Data in the tables are subject to change because the States may revise and update their data. Effective with the May, 2005 report, the table MF-121T will no longer show tax rate changes during the year. The table only show the most current tax rate and the effective date. In the event that a State has not yet reported data, the tables MF33G, MF33GA, MF33SF, and the Cover Sheet of this report will show estimates based on the State's previous years' data and that State's region percent change. If the previous year's data is unavailable, the estimate will be based on two years back. Estimated data for States are in bold fonts. Motor Fuel Trends Created On: 06/16/2020 January 2020 Reporting Period Gasoline Sales Based on State-reported data ( 46 entities) and estimated data where States did not report, gasoline consumption for January 2020 changed by 0.9 percent compared to the same period in 2019. (1) The gasoline volume shown in this report is a cumulative tabulation of gross volume reported by wholesale distributors to State motor fuel tax agencies. It includes highway use, nonhighway use and losses. There is a lag of up to 6 weeks between the wholesale transactions reported and retail sales to consumers. Travel trends are reported monthly in Traffic Volume Trends based on actual traffic counts at permanent traffic recorders operated by the State highway agencies and reflect highway use of fuel. The vehicle-miles reported include all vehicles, regardless of fuel type. While data in both reports reflect changes in trends, large monthly changes can be caused by exceptional weather conditions, variations in timing of holidays, or processing delays. Motor Fuel Taxation All States levy volume taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel. The rates in effect for 2020 are shown in Table MF-121T. The gasoline rates vary from a low of 8.0 cents per gallon to 57.6 cents with an average of 27.5 cents. Six States provide for full or partial exemptions for gasohol, a blend of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent fuel alcohol. Diesel fuel rates vary from 4 cents to 74.1 cents per gallon. Traditionally, State fuel tax rates could only be changed with legislation, but 10 States now have variable rate motor fuel taxes. These taxes are adjusted at specified intervals-annually, semiannually, or quarterly-usually on Table MF-121T. Adjustments to variable rate taxes are announced by State tax agencies shortly before the effective date of the change. (1) This percentage change is a comparison for those States for which data are available for the report month. However, the percentage change on the national map is a comparison of cumulative data for all States (reported and estimated) for which both 2019 and 2020 data are available.

  • Compressed Natural Gas Not Subject to Motor Fuel Tax
    External Multistate Tax Alert External Multistate Tax Alert January 18, 2018 IL Appellate Court – compressed natural gas not subject to motor fuel tax Overview In a unanimous, unpublished order issued on December 29, 2017, the Illinois First District Appellate Court (“Appellate Court”) reversed an earlier Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal (“Tax Tribunal”) order which had granted summary judgment in favor of the Illinois Department of Revenue (“Department”).1 Ruling in favor of the taxpayer, the Appellate Court held that compressed natural gas (“CNG”) is not a taxable motor fuel under the Illinois Motor Fuel Tax Law Act (“Motor Fuel Tax”).2 The Appellate Court’s order is subject to discretionary review by the Illinois Supreme Court upon the Illinois Department of Revenue filing an appeal. This tax alert summarizes the factual background of the case, the Tax Tribunal’s and Appellate Court’s decisions, and provides taxpayer refund considerations. Background Illinois imposes a per gallon excise tax on “all motor fuel used in motor vehicles operating on [Illinois] public highways.”3 For purposes of the Motor Fuel Tax Law Act, “motor fuel” is defined as: [A]ll volatile and inflammable liquids produced, blended or compounded for the purpose of, or which are suitable or practicable for, operating motor vehicles. Among other things, “Motor Fuel” includes “Special Fuel” as defined in Section 1.13 of this Act.4 “Special fuel,” in turn, is defined as: [A]ll volatile and inflammable liquids capable of being used for the generation of power in an internal combustion engine except that it does not include gasoline as defined in Section 5, example (A), of this Act, or combustible gases as defined in Section 5, example (B), of this Act .

  • Revenue Impact from Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
    ISSUE BRIEF: EDITION 8 | MAY 2020 @invest_nc ncdot.gov/ncfirst COMMISSION FUTURE INVESTMENT RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION The NC FIRST Commission was created in March 2019 to evaluate North Carolina’s transportation investment needs. Their job is to advise the Secretary of Transportation of new or better ways to ensure that critical financial resources are available in the future. As part of this process, we’ll be looking for input from you, the people of North Carolina! This brief examines how increased sales of electric and hybrid vehicles will impact transportation revenues and explores revenue policy options. Revenue Impact from Electric and Hybrid Vehicles Overview Executive Order 80, issued by Governor Roy Cooper on Oct. 29, 2018, directs how North Carolina can address climate change. Among other goals, because North Carolina’s transportation sector contributed 32 precent of the state’s total greenhouse gas emissions in 2017,1 the order seeks to increase the number of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) to at least 80,000 by 2025. As of March 17, North Carolina has more than 13,482 electric vehicles and 158,081 hybrids. While EV owners pay an additional $130 vehicle registration fee, hybrid owners do not pay an additional fee. Based on Division of Motor Vehicle data, hybrid and electric vehicle owners pay approximately $50 less in state transportation taxes per year than gasoline vehicle owners. This brief explores the fiscal impact of electric and hybrid vehicles, alternatives to a registration fee, and the policy arguments for and against taxation. 1 www.ncdot.gov/initiatives-policies/environmental/climate-change/ Documents/nc-zev-plan.pdf NC FIRST Commission 1 REVENUE IMPACT FROM ELECTRIC VEHICLES MAY 2020 How will EVs and hybrids change the Figure 2: North Carolina’s state’s vehicle fleet? Existing Vehicle Fleet With an average vehicle age of 12.7 years, it will take many years for EV and hybrid vehicles to create a significant change to the state’s vehicle fleet.

  • G. Uniform Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants Regulation
    Handbook 130 - 2006 Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants Regulation G. Uniform Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants Regulation as adopted by The National Conference on Weights and Measures* 1. Background In 1984, the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) adopted a section 2.20. in the Uniform Regulation for the Method of Sale of Commodities requiring that motor fuels containing alcohol be labeled to disclose to the retail purchaser that the fuel contains alcohol. The delegates deemed this action necessary since motor vehicle manufacturers were qualifying their warranties with respect to some gasoline-alcohol blends, motor fuel users were complaining to weights and measures officials about fuel quality and vehicle performance, and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International had not yet finalized quality standards for oxygenated (which includes alcohol- containing) fuels. While a few officials argued weights and measures officials should not cross the line from quantity assurance programs to programs regulating quality, the delegates were persuaded that the issue needed immediate attention. A Motor Fuels Task Force was appointed in 1984 to develop mechanisms for achieving uniformity in the evaluation and regulation of motor fuels. The Task Force developed the Uniform Motor Fuel Inspection Law (see the Uniform Laws section of this Handbook) and the Uniform Motor Fuel Regulation to accompany the Law. The Uniform Law required registration and certification of motor fuel as meeting ASTM standards. The regulation defined the ASTM standards to be applied to motor fuel. In 1992 the NCWM established the Petroleum Subcommittee under the Laws and Regulations Committee.
