13gallons presented in the Monthly Motor Fuel Tax Reports reflect taxable motor fuel
shipped from terminals rather than gallons sold at retail locations. Because the Monthly
Motor Fuel Tax Reports reflect fuel shipments made during the prior month, taxable
gallons reported in the monthly reports covering February 2014 through January 2015
were compared with gallons reported as sold by retailers completing the 2014 annual
report. During this period, fuel taxes were paid on a total of 1,659.8 million gallons of
gasoline fuels. In comparison, the 83.2% of retail locations that filed annual reports
indicated 1,498.9 million gallons of gasoline fuels were sold, including all ethanol blends
and non-ethanol gasoline, which equals 90.3% of taxable gallons, reported for 2014.
Despite the low response rate, this share is just above the 90.2% of taxable gallons
reported in 2013.
Diesel Fuel Sales
During 2014, based on annual reports submitted to the Department, the amount of clear
biodiesel sold equaled 314.4 million gallons, or 56.1% of total clear diesel fuel sales.
Retailers reported selling 560.6 million of gallons of clear diesel fuel. In comparison, the
number of taxable (clear) gallons of diesel fuel shipped during 2014 as reported on the
Monthly Motor Fuel Tax Reports equaled 714.0 million. Therefore, retailers completing
annual reports for 2014 accounted for 78.5% of diesel fuel on which fuel taxes were
paid. This is down from the 79.5% reported in 2013.
Also, during 2014, 164.4 million gallons of dyed (non-taxed) diesel fuel sales were
reported on the annual reports, including 40.3 million biodiesel gallons (24.5%). Dyed
diesel gallons are not captured in the Monthly Motor Fuel Tax Reports.
Based on the annual reports, 1,247 locations sold clear diesel fuel and 114 of these
locations sold clear biodiesel fuel during 2014. In addition, 309 locations sold dyed
diesel fuel and 114 of these locations sold dyed biodiesel fuel during 2014.
Total diesel gallons reported were 725.0 million gallons and total biodiesel gallons were
354.8 million gallons; therefore, biodiesel blended gallons accounted for 48.9% of diesel
gallons sold by reporting retailers.
