Remove variable rate on gas tax

HB 2169 would remove the variable component from West Virginia's gas tax, replacing it with a fixed rate of $0.205 per gallon. Currently, the tax includes a flat rate plus a variable rate tied to wholesale fuel prices (with minimums of $2.34 or $3.04 per gallon). The bill eliminates the fluctuating percentage-based calculation, making the tax amount consistent regardless of market prices. This change directly affects gas retailers, distributors, and consumers who pay the motor fuel excise tax in West Virginia. The bill preserves the existing flat rate but removes all price-dependent adjustments.
