From the estimates I've heard it will likely be about two dollars a week for the average Pennsylvania driver which would equate to $100 per year. It looks like the vote will be early next week. It's going to be very close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361491060528726863.post-68771293808801431082013-10-18T19:52:20.437-04:002013-10-18T19:52:20.437-04:00The bill the house will vote on is Senate Bill 1. ...The bill the house will vote on is Senate Bill 1. And Mike I agree with you that not all of the cost will necessarily be passed by the oil companies to the consumers. Th estimate that I keep hearing mentioned is around 2 bucks a week for the average PA driver which amounts to a hundred bucks a year. Looks like a likely vote will occur early next week and it is going to be very close.

Wawa doesn't have more expensive gas going to one location vs. another, yet Wawa stores have wildly different prices at the pump based on many factors.

There will be an increase in taxation of oil companies - known as the franchise tax. The oil companies will likely pass a good bit of this on to consumers rather than reduce profit. In the end, a net increase is predicted at the pump. Estimates are that the average driver will pay an additional 2 bucks per week.

The main funding source will be removing an antiquated tax cap on oil companies. There is actually a small reduction on tax at the pump included in the bill. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
