UNICA offers DC drivers $0.54 off gasoline to showcase ethanol tariff
In Brazil, the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) announced that it will offer Washington, DC-area Washington-area drivers a discount of $0.54 per gallon off the price of gasoline at two Capitol Hill stations, “to draw attention to a hidden tax on American drivers and help make summer vacation a little more affordable”. The hidden tax is the $0.54 tariff on the importation of ethanol into the US (which excludes nations in the Caribbean Basin Initiative). In honor of Memorial Day, UNICA will double the discount for military personnel who can show a military ID.
