the
useful
life
of
the

Beginning

gross
weight
of
11
vehicles
of

(Code

12
The
bill
increases
by
10
cents
the
rate
of
the
excise
tax
on
13
motor
fuel,
special
fuel
for
diesel
engines,
compressed
natural
14
gas,
liquefied
natural

increases
by
2

If
the

50
percent,
the

As

25
percentage
increases,
the

the
26
two
types
of
fuel
decreases
until
the
distribution
percentage
27
is

both
