Texas has one of the lowest diesel tax rates in the US at 20.0¢ per gallon. Calculate your IFTA fuel tax liability for Texas routes and compare to neighboring states.
Texas's diesel fuel tax rate of 20.0 cents per gallon is one of the most favorable in the country. Only Oklahoma and Missouri consistently match or beat it among states with significant trucking volume. For IFTA purposes, every gallon you consume in Texas is taxed at this rate — and because the rate is low, fueling in Texas almost always works in your favor vs. reimbursing at a higher-rate state's rate.
Texas handles more interstate freight movement than any other state — not just because of its size, but because of its position as the NAFTA corridor to Mexico. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the #2 freight market in the US after Los Angeles. Houston is a top-5 port city and home to the nation's largest petrochemical freight complex.
I-35 (NAFTA Corridor): Laredo–San Antonio–Austin–Dallas–Oklahoma City. Highest truck volume in Texas, especially around Laredo/Nuevo Laredo border crossings.

I-20: Midland/Odessa oilfield freight through Dallas east to Shreveport, LA.
