If gas taxes were increased, wouldn't you be less likely to drive more, or buy a vehicle that uses less fuel?
I drive a V8 extended cab Chevy truck ... and didn't blink at $3.00+ per gallon.
By the by, out of the $2.19 per gallon I paid yesterday, $.583 per gallon is ALREADY tax .. the state and feds make 6 times as much per gallon as the "greedy oil companies" do
gotta come clean, I misread the chart ... it's only $.383 per gallon in taxes .. so the state and feds are only making 3.5 - 4 times as much per gallon as Exxon/Mobil.
