gas tax cap

The temporary tax cap on gasoline sold in Broome County that went into effect last June has run its course and motorists are keeping a close eye on prices.

People filling up their vehicles at Binghamton area gasoline stations are happy to see even a small break in escalating prices at the pump.

June 1 and the start of New York’s new budget cycle means the state’s 16-cents a gallon tax on gasoline is now suspended through December.
