You know, i've heard there is an idea being circulated with law makers, tax/revenue counters, and the like.
Those hybrids use less fuel. They may be traveling the roads just as much as any run of the mill SUV, but given they use less fuel, and fuel is taxed at the pump, and some of the revenue from those taxes maintains infrastructure such as roads, hybrid drivers are not paying their fair share. So, the solution? An added tax to hybrid drivers. That added tax might well negate any savings in fuel costs.
I don't know why I find that funny, maybe it's the smugness of some of those hybrid driver's wokeness.
But when you really think about it, it does make sense. Hybrids should pay a separate tax for driving a vehicle that uses less fuel, and in turn pays less tax. Agreed?
I live in California and conservative talk radio has been saying that's going to happen for 15 years. I listen to them every two weeks when I'm putting $20 in the tank to fill her up.
