Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) used as motor fuel must be sold in gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE) or diesel gallon equivalents (DGE). A GGE of CNG is equal to 5.66 pounds (lbs.) and a DGE of LNG is equal to 6.06 lbs. Operators of motor vehicles capable of using natural gas must pay an annual flat rate privilege tax if the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 lbs. or less. Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) with a GVWR greater than 10,000 lbs. are subject to privilege taxes charged per hundred cubic feet of CNG and per diesel gallon equivalent of LNG; operators must prepay a portion of this tax annually. The Mississippi Department of Revenue may require the operator of five or more NGVs to pay the tax on all fuel purchased for any purpose; in this case, the fuel distributor will collect the excise tax at the time of sale or delivery. Distributors of natural gas for use in motor vehicles must also pay a privilege tax. Taxes on distributors and utilities do not apply to sales or deliveries made to persons who hold permitted compressed gas user's decals.

All gasoline-powered vehicles purchased with state funds must be flex fuel vehicles (FFVs) or fuel-efficient hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). FFVs are defined as automobiles or light trucks that operate on either gasoline or 85% ethanol (E85) fuel. Fuel-efficient HEVs are defined as automobiles or light trucks that use a gasoline or diesel engine and an electric motor to provide power and that gain at least a 20% increase in combined U.S. Environmental Protection Agency city-highway fuel economy over a comparable conventionally powered model. Any vehicle purchased with state funds that is fueled with diesel fuel must be certified by the manufacturer to run on 5% biodiesel (B5) fuel. 15% of all vehicles purchased with state funds must be fueled by electricity, natural gas, or liquefied petroleum gas, except for Department of Corrections, Department of State Police patrol, and Secretary of State vehicles. Additional exemptions may apply. The Chief Procurement Officer may determine that certain vehicle procurements are exempt from these requirements based on intended use or other reasonable considerations such as health and safety of Illinois citizens.

Any individual using or selling compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), or liquefied petroleum gas (propane) as a motor fuel must report fuel use and remit taxes due to the Kansas Department of Revenue on a monthly basis. The minimum tax imposed on CNG is \$0.24 per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE), LNG is \$0.26 per GGE, and propane is \$0.23 per gallon. The state imposes a tax rate of \$0.24 per gallon on conventional motor fuel. Alternatively, CNG, LNG, and propane vehicle users may apply for special permit decals to pay motor fuel taxes on a mileage basis. The number of gallons used on Kansas highways is determined based on the following miles per gallon (mpg) estimates: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating MPG ----------------------------- -------- 6,000 pounds (lbs.) or less 12 mpg 6,001 to12,000 lbs. 10 mpg 12,001 to 24,000 lbs. 7 mpg 24,001 to 42,000 lbs. 6 mpg 42,001 to 66,000 lbs. 4 mpg Over 66,000 lbs. 3 mpg (Reference [Kansas Statutes 79-34,141; 79-3490; and 79-3492a through 79-3492e](http://www.kslegislature.org/li/))

Owners of NGVs (liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas) and propane powered vehicles are required to pay an annual license fee, based on gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), instead of motor fuel excise taxes. The base fee schedule is as follows: ::: {align="center"} GVWR ::: Base Fee Less than 10,000 pounds (lbs.) \$45 10,001 - 18,000 lbs. \$80 18,001 - 28,000 lbs. \$110 28,001 - 36,000 lbs. \$150 More than 36,000 lbs. \$250 To determine the actual annual license fee imposed per registration year, multiply the appropriate base fee amount from the above schedule by the motor vehicle fuel tax rate in cents per gallon effective on July 1 of the preceding calendar year, and divide the resulting amount by \$0.12. There is an additional \$5 handling fee for each license issued. (Reference [Revised Code of Washington 82.38.075](http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/))

The state road tax for vehicles that operate on propane (liquefied petroleum gas or LPG) is paid through the purchase of an annual flat fee sticker, and the amount is based on the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating. Each person owning and/or operating a vehicle that operates on propane must obtain a decal annually from the Alabama LPG Board. The decal must be affixed to the vehicle according to LPG Board specification as proof that the issuance fee and decal fee have been paid. Vehicle owners must apply for a decal within 10 days of converting a vehicle to operate on propane, or a 20% penalty will be applied to the decal fee. Out-of-state alternative fuel vehicle operators that purchase propane within the state must pay the current Alabama motor fuel tax or they may elect to purchase the annual flat fee decal. The propane dealer or supplier must remit these funds to the LPG Board before the 20th of the month following the date of sale. Similarly, the Alabama Department of Revenue administers an excise tax on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) used as vehicle fuel. Taxes are applied in the following amounts: CNG: - \$0.13 per GGE from October 1, 2023, until September 30, 2028; and - \$0.18 per GGE from October 1, 2028 and beyond. LNG: - \$0.13 per DGE from October 1, 2023, until September 30, 2028; and - \$0.18 per DGE from October 1, 2028 and beyond. A GGE is equal to 5.66 pounds (lbs.) or 126.67 cubic feet of natural gas for CNG and a DGE is equal to 6.06 lbs. for LNG.
