Tax on Alternative Fuels
How are taxes on fuels like Propane, Compressed Natural Gas, Biodiesel or Straight Vegetable oil calculated?
This occurred to me the other day at work; the truck that refills our forklift cylinders runs on propane. I also saw a propane dealer picking up a will call who had a setup in his Ford Diesel that ran propane. |
If you go to the Federal website for fuels, you should be able to find out the tax. I believe this website is correct.

I don't know what the Tax on alternative fuels are but I bet there's a Tax Incentive for using it.
Just my guess. |
Don't know about tax incentives, but propane is to diesel as nitrous is to gas.

I can't seem to get it to work, either. I will try to look into it and see if I can find something. I did find a link to the national propane association. From what I gather, most propane is considered as off road use. Most of what I have seen involves tax credits and incentives rather than on road usage. I am sure that if it were to become widespread that the government would find a way to tax it. I think the only tax right now is sales tax.

Correct on Schwans...
Route trucks (In New Hampshire/Vermont at least) were running propane when I worked for them, and that was about 1990. |
One of these is a link to the department of energy which publishes the weekly price of fuel. It comes out every Monday. If you receive a fuel surcharge you may want to check this out. You can sign up to receive it automatically every week. There may be a link to what you are seeking on one of these sites.
