Oregonians annually use over one billion gallons of gasoline. As gas prices continue to climb, driven by rising demand, tight supply and increasing production costs, now is a good time to look at ways to save fuel and money.
"When possible, people may want to walk, bike, ride the bus or carpool to save gas," says Oregon Department of Energy Director Michael W. Grainey. "And to help Oregonians deal with price increases and conserve energy, we offers tax credits for businesses or individuals who purchase fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles."
The Oregon Department of Energy´s Business Energy Tax Credit program also offers tax credits to employers if they buy for employees: equipment allowing telework, bicycles to reduce vehicle miles, transit passes, and purchase fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles.
Individual Oregon residents who purchase fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles are eligible for a Residential Energy Tax Credit of up to $1500.
