AN ANALYSIS OF THE HIDDEN EXTERNAL COSTS CONSUMERS PAY TO FUEL THEIR AUTOMOBILES. REPORT NO. 3 TeX Export

The report divides the external costs of gasoline usage into five primary areas: (1) Tax Subsidization of the Oil Industry; (2) Government Program Subsidies; (3) Protection Costs Involved in Oil Shipment and Motor Vehicle Services; (4) Environmental, Health, and Social Costs of Gasoline Usage; and (5) Other Important Externalities of Motor Vehicle Use. Together, these external costs total \$558.7 billion to \$1.69 trillion per year, which, when added to the retail price of gasoline, results in a per gallon price of \$5.60 to \$15.14.}, author = {Kimbrell, Andrew and Joseph and Briscoe, Mark and Harrje, Evan and Ethridge, Blake and Bricker, Amy and Kallio, Karmen and Beck, Jennifer and Dixon-Streeter, Jessica}, citeulike-article-id = {2633996}, editor = {Kimbrell, Andrew and Director, Executive}, institution = {INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR TECHNOLOGYASSESSMENT, Washington DC}, keywords = {accident, automobiles, climate, cost-benefit, externalities}, posted-at = {2008-04-06 03:30:34}, priority = {2}, title = {AN ANALYSIS OF THE HIDDEN EXTERNAL COSTS CONSUMERS PAY TO FUEL THEIR AUTOMOBILES.
