Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am new to this fine forum, so I hope this thread is in the right department.
Last year, I developed an interest in a CNG vehicles do to the high cost of gasoline.
I examined the tax issue regarding this fuel and discovered that in 2007 Minnesota had no tax on CNG.
Of course, in their collect wisdom, our "benign" state legistraitors (the spelling is correct) decided to impose a fuel tax on CNG.

The effect tax rate is now .002217 per cubic feet, which represents a tax or fee of .2832 cents per GGE.
I understand that we should all pay our equal part for the use of roads, however, one would think especial consideration should be given to encourage our reduction of foreign oil.
There is only one station in the entire state, I live within 2 miles of it.
The last pricing (about 3 days ago) was $2.79 per GGE, which is a saving of only 60 to 70 pennies per gallon versus gasoline.
Base on an annual usage of 1000 gallons of gasoline, this would represent a saving of $700.oo per year, a fraction of the cost of a new CNG vehicle.
With the cost of CNG along with the state fuel tax, which BTW, is three cent higher than that of gasoline (


)there is no discernibly incentive to purchase a CNG vehicle..
