I’m referring to the permit required to operate in OR, just like the other permits in NM, KY, and NY. My OR tax is always high, while the other three states are much lower. I’m guessing it has something to do with driving more miles in the state?
Why is the Oregon weight-distance tax so high?

So it costs about $75 just one way on I-84 to Portland from Idaho. Heading back out to Idaho will make a total of $150. Hmm. I may have to rethink my routes to see if OR can be avoided. And the same goes for the other three states!

Anyway, so the fuel tax exemption is only available to apportioned plates who are not based in OR? Does that also mean that locals in OR pay fuel taxes and do not have to pay for the weight-distance tax like we do? -
If you’ve ever noticed with the Or fuel tax exemption or PUC you get like a 20 or so cent discount on fuel but yet they charge you the miles driven in the state. Keeps you from buying cheeper fuel in the other states then running through oregon. Just their way of collecting tax “for road repair”. Notice I put it in quotes because we all know it dont go to fixing the roads. I pay between $1000 and $2000 a month for road tax in Oregon, but I also run heavy up here and all my customers are Or, Id and Wa.

Oregon doesn't charge sales tax.
The pump will ask for your Oregon fuel tax permit - It's your license plate. Save you like $0.28 gallon.PE_T Thanks this.
