Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific figure of 25 cents per gallon relief is verifiable against Connecticut's actual gas and diesel tax rates to assess whether this matches the proposed holiday amount
What we foundThe 25 cents per gallon figure accurately describes Connecticut's retail gasoline tax, but the diesel tax is approximately 50 cents per gallon, making the single '25 cents per gallon' characterization for both fuels an understatement for diesel.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: 25 cents a gallon is Connecticut's gasoline tax, and the diesel tax is higher (49.9 cents for 2026-27), so the relief described is not overstated; for diesel it would be larger. The evidence is unchanged.
