Tennessee road builders urge fuel tax hike

Quote:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee road builders say fuel taxes aren’t keeping up with transportation needs, but state highway officials aren’t pushing for a tax hike.

Tennesseans pay 39.8 cents in state and federal taxes per gallon of gasoline while the national average is 47 cents, according to the Amercian Petroleum Institute. The state portion, last raised in 1989, is 21.4 cents, and the federal portion, last set in 1993, is 18.4 cents.

Road builders say the combination of fewer miles being driven because of high gas costs and better fuel economy in newer vehicles has been a double whammy for highway revenue, hurting construction programs.
