Tennesseans Still Love Their Gazzaline

Cara Kumari on some interesting new revenue numbers from the state of Tennessee:

Collections from the gasoline and motor fuel tax increased by 6.38 percent. Remember, the state gas tax stays flat as the prices go up. That means, people aren’t shying away from the pump, we’re all using more gas.

UPDATE: According to the Department of Revenue, Tennessee collected $62,210,000 in gas taxes in May. By Christian Grantham’s math, that means Tennesseans consumed 290,700,934 gallons in April which is equivalent to 2% of our nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
