Federal Gasoline Tax
The chief factor In the estimated
9130,000,000 increase in the 1940
gasoline tax bill is the higher fed­
eral tax on gasoline. This tax,
which was inaugurated by Congress
in 1932 as a “temporary" measure,
duplicates the taxes of the states.
In 1939 the federal gasoline tax.
collected at the rate of lc per gal­
lon. yielded approximately 9215,-
000,000 of revenue, or more than
the total of all other manufactur­
ers’ excise taxes collected by the
federal government. To provide ad-
4ttional revenue for national de­
fense purposes. Congress this year
rncreased the tax rate to l ^ c per
gallon, effective July 1. This In-
rrease, It is estimated, will add
«pproximately 955.000,000 to the
-•ilon's 1940 gasoline tax bill dur-
ng the last six months of 1940.

the same period of 1939. The fact
that the gain In registrations of
new passenger cars Is almost
double the Increase In truck regis­
trations Is believed by some to he
caused In part by the desire of
many motorists to replace their
cars before possible price advances
that may result from conditions
arising from the current European
war.
tiasollne consumption during the
first seven months of 1940 has stood
at approximately seven per cent
above consumption during the same
period of 1939. Of this increasa,
about 4 per cent Is accounted Q><
by the one and one-half million
gain In automobile registrations.
The other three per cent arises
from greater use of their vehicles
by Individual owners of passengn
cars and trucks.
Besides the exported Increase of
9130,000,000 In the nation's gasoline
tax bill, state revenue Iron» regie
tratlon and other fees will Increase
by about 921,000.000. In 1939 such
taxes totaled 9430,549.000, and In
1,500,000 More Cars
1940 will reach the all-time record
New passenger car registrations of about 9450,000.000. When added
for the first seven months of 1940 to the estimated 91.162,000.000 In
are estimated at 2.130.000, an In­ gasoline taxes that will accrue this
crease of 30 per cent over the y e a r , the astounding total of
1.640.000 new car registrations for 91.612,000.000 Is obtained. That fig

age mileage of motor vehicles so
far this year la estimated at ap­
proximately three per cent more
than that for the same period last
year. This increased use of auto­
mobiles by their owners ranks next
to the factor of expansion in auto­
mobile ownership In [hishlng up
gasoline tax collections to a record
height.
Total registrations of privately
owned motor vehicles during the
arat seven months of 1940 are esti­
mated at 30.950,000, as compared
with 29,400,000 during the same
period of 1939. Thia represents an
Increase of car ownership of ap­
proximately one and one-half mil­
lion vehicles. It Is believed that
auch expansion In ownership during
1940 has taken place largely among
families with modest Incomes. Prob­
ably close to one million families
with Incomes of about 930 a week,
or less, have become car owners
in 1940. Such families are purchas
ers of used cars, which are avail­
able In large numbers at a wide
scale of prices. Motor transporta­
tion Is available to all families ex­
cept those in the lowest Income
groups. Increased business activity,
auch as prevailed during 1940,
tends to stimulate used car buying.
Nearly 60 per cent of the car-own­
ing families In the United States
depend upon used cars for their
transportation.
