Summary This paper discusses using an oil tax to fund U.S. transportation infrastructure. The paper discusses the pros and cons of an oil tax to take the place of the current gasoline and diesel taxes.
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 29-31).
Contents Introduction -- Why tax oil? -- How much might oil be taxed? -- Who would pay the tax?
Summary Federal spending on surface-transportation infrastructure outpaces federal taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel. Increasing fuel efficiency means that fuel-purchase expenditures have dropped, so real revenue generated from these taxes has declined. A percentage tax on crude oil and imported refined-petroleum products consumed in the United States could fund U.S. transportation infrastructure.
