Hydrochloric acid gasoline from

In CERCLA, Congress taxed the production of 42 chemicals ranging from 29 cents per ton on hydrochloric acid to 4.87 per ton on benzene. Petroleum production was taxed at 79 cents per barrel, and hazardous waste facilities were taxed 2.13 per disposed ton. SARA extended the taxes but lowered the petroleum tax to 11.7 cents per barrel on imported oil and 8.2 cents per barrel on domestic oil, imposed a 0.12 percent tax on corporate income, and added a 0.1 cent tax per gallon on gasoline to pay for leaky storage tanks. 

Chemical Stability. The wire made from PPT(I) exhibited good chemical resistance. For example, there was no change in electrical resistance after the wire was submerged in 5% hydrochloric acid solution or gasoline at room temperature for 24 hours or was boiled in 40% sodium hydroxide solution, lubricating oil, benzene or ethyl alcohol for 24 hours. These properties are shown in Table V. 

Sulfuric acid is used for a variety of other purposes in the chemical industry. For example, it is the usual acid catalyst for the conversion of cyclohexanone oxime to caprolactam, used for making nylon. It is used for making hydrochloric acid from salt via the Mannheim process. Much H2SO4 is used in petroleum refining, for example as a catalyst for the reaction of isobutane with isobutylene to give isooctane, a compound that raises the octane rating of gasoline (petrol). Sulfuric acid is also important in the manufacture of dyestuffs solutions and is the "acid" in lead-acid (car) batteries.
