janice6 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 4 hours ago, Huaco Kid said: As long as Trump. True. The drive to increase taxes because they could, would be too strong for Democrats to resist. They think taxes are free money,m and they want all the free money they can get from you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXUSMC Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Filled up for $1.91/gal the other day here in Texas... thought the little dust-up with Iran last month might nudge prices up, but we were largely unaffected. If the Dems regain power, I have no doubts that they will use higher taxes at the pump to support their Green New Deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dems consistently raise gas taxes when the gas price is low, knowing many won't complain until later when the gas price is high, but by then it's futile to complain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel tax was supposed to go exclusively for maintenance and upgrade of the roads infrastructure. Then it began to be diverted to greenways and mass transit and light rail and other non roads infrastructure projects. As vehicle MPG has improved less fuel is sold, thus taxes per gallon must increase. With hybrid and electric vehicles little or no petroleum fuel is required, do a mileage tax will come. And too soon that will apply to normal fuel burners as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 $2.39 up once cent from a few days ago. I live in a county and state with higher gas taxes as a result of no income tax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some states are putting a big fee on annual registration of hybrid and electric vehicles to compensate for the lack of gas tax. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago during the first "gas crisis", I read a reprint of a full page newspaper ad from PA around 1918 or so, claiming that we were coming to the end of all the available petroleum and would be facing an energy crisis. Then there were periodic claims to that effect up to present day. Now we export petroleum. Edited February 11, 2020 by janice6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/When private cars and trucks have two way GPS - which many commercial vehicles already have - there won’t even be a need to physically access individual vehicles.
