One thought on “Wisconsin\’s Oil Company Tax Study Follow-Up”
One quibble; at 2.5% of value, it’s only $0.05/gallon if gas were at $2.00/gallon. At $3.00/gallon (which is what it has approached once again with the switch to the Milwaukee summer blend of the Algore/Whitman Memorial Corn-A-Hole RFG), it’s $0.075/gallon. In any case, it suddenly puts Wisconsin at #1 in the gas-tax category.
