Hole up - this legislation would fix the wholesale cost at 2.99/gal.

What is it now? Articles like this drive me batty - give me a metric being legislated with no comparison...

Honestly, it's not even 25%ing it.

That confused me, it has to be a misunderstanding because there's absolutely no way that PA can fix the price of gas.

I'm guessing the wholesale tax fluctuates based on the market price, which is why it shot up at the beginning of this year because the average wholesale price shot up last year.

So the legislation is probably saying that for the purposes of the amount of the wholesale tax, we're just going to pretend that gas is $2.99/gal forever.
