N.M. Admin. Code § 18.3.15.8 - FUEL SURCHARGE LINE ITEM CALCULATION

A towing service may add to a non-consensual tow invoice a separate fuel surcharge line item that must comply with the following table and formula.

A. formula: the fuel surcharge amount is calculated by multiplying the total allowable mileage charge by the 'multiplier' in the table, below, that corresponds to the applicable 'EIA gas/diesel price range for the Rocky Mountain region'. Example: if the total allowable mileage charge for the non-consensual tow is $100, and that week's EIA fuel price (as identified on the EIA website) is $4.00, then that fuel price falls within the $3.76 - $4.00 price range, which corresponds on the table, below, to a multiplier of .0675; so the fuel surcharge is calculated as $100 (the mileage charge) multiplied by .0675 (or 6.75%), which equals a fuel surcharge amount of $6.75.

B. table:

EIA Fuel Price Range	Multiplier
$2.26 - $2.50	.0375 (or 3.75%)
$2.51 - $2.75	.0425 (or 4.25%)
$2.76 - $3.00	.0475 (or 4.75%)
$3.01 - $3.25	.0525 (or 5.25%)
$3.26 - $3.50	.0575 (or 5.75%)
$3.51 - $3.75	.0625 (or 6.25%)
$3.76 - $4.00	.0675 (or 6.75%)
$4.01 - $4.25	.0725 (or 7.25%)
$4.26 - $4.50	.0775 (or 7.75%)
$4.51 - $4.75	.0825 (or 8.25%)
$4.76 - $5.00	.0875 (or 8.75%)
$5.01 - $5.25	.0925 (or 9.25%)
$5.26 - $5.50	.0975 (or 9.75%)
$5.51 - $5.75	.1025 (or 10.25%)
$5.76 - $6.00	.1075 (or 10.75%)
$6.01 - $6.25	.1125 (or 11.25%)
$6.26 - $6.50	.1175 (or 11.75%)
$6.51 - $6.75	.1225 (or 12.25%)
$6.76 - $7.00	.1275 (or 12.75%)
$7.01 - $7.25	.1325 (or 13.25%)
$7.26 - $7.50	.1375 (or 13.75%)
