EFFECTS OF A $0.25 FEDERAL GAS TAX INCREASE ON U.S. ECONOMY, FUEL USE, FLEET COMPOSITION
Energy Innovation's analysis finds that a $0.25 federal gas tax increase would generate $1.1 trillion in revenue through 2050, reduce fuel consumption by over 1.3 billion barrels, and add 2.5 million electric vehicles to U.S. roads by 2050. The tax is equivalent to a carbon tax of $25-$29 per ton, exceeding current U.S. pricing schemes like the California-Quebec and Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative systems.

Truck Efficiency and GHG Reduction Opportunities in the Canadian Truck Fleet
This report by the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) analyzes opportunities to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Canadian Class-8 truck fleet through the adoption of aerodynamic retrofits, low rolling-resistance tires, and auxiliary power units (APUs). It argues that government leadership, technical guidance, and financial incentives are necessary to overcome industry inertia and the fuel-efficiency losses caused by emissions regulations.
