the tax on gasoline from six cents to eight cents per gallon this increase if made effective means that the average motorist driving 10000 miles in a year and getting 18 miles to the gallon out of his car will pay over 10 ad ditional to the gasoline tax of 3333 which he is now paying figure it out for yourself from six cents to eight cents a gallon means this taxes now proposed excluding taxes
