and
other

The

tax
on

14
fuel
other

Under
current
law,
the
per-gallon
excise
tax
on

24
gasoline
is
up
to
14
cents
less
than
the
per-gallon

tax
25
on
other
motor
fuel,
depending
on
the
amount
of
excise
tax
26
paid
on
E-85
gasoline
during
the
past
calendar
year
and
the
27
amount
of

The
bill
strikes
28
the
provisions
relating
to

29
gasoline.
30
Under
current
law,
until

2020,
the
per-gallon
31
excise
tax
on
biodiesel
blended
fuel
classified
as
