The Nebraska gas tax rate is set to drop slightly on New Year’s Day, meaning Nebraska drivers will see a drop in the price at the pump.

A small part of the gas tax is reviewed every 6 months for a possible increase or decrease to help make sure it brings in just the amount of revenue needed to fund budgeted projects.

This time, it will drop 1.6-cents to 24.6 cents per gallon…or about 21-cents on a 13-gallon fill up. It’s the lowest rate since the first six months of 2008, when the tax rate was 23 cents a gallon.
