Nebraska Gas Tax Overview
Nebraska’s state tax on gasoline is 32.7¢ a gallon and 32.4¢ on diesel, the rate in force since July 1, 2025 (diesel since October 1, 2026). That is the 23rd-highest state gasoline tax of the 50 states and DC. Reset every January 1 and July 1 from wholesale prices and highway funding needs.
With the federal 18.4¢, a gallon of gasoline carries 51.1¢ of per-gallon tax, so a 15-gallon fill-up includes about $7.67 of fuel tax whatever the pump price.
The rate is due to be reset on January 1, 2027; the new figure is not published yet.
