Auto industry group calls for scrapping US gas tax, adopting vehicle fee
April 1 (Reuters) - The head of a group representing nearly all major automakers on Wednesday called for scrapping the U.S. government's 18.4-cent per gallon tax on gasoline and replacing it with a vehicle fee to pay for road repairs.
John Bozzella, who heads the Alliance for Automotive Innovation that represents General Motors GM.N, Toyota 7203.T, Volkswagen VOWG.DE, Hyundai 005380.KS and other major car companies, said the government should address the increasing financial shortfall in the highway trust fund.
