This is STUPID...do the math. Lets say you drive 300 miles on a tank. The new tax would be 300 miles x 1.2 cents= $3.60.
Same scenario. 300 miles driven at 20 mpg = 15 gal of gas. 15 gal x 24 cent per gal tax is $3.60 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its just a way to PUNISH low MPG cars !!!

Quite the opposite. The tax is a flat amount per mile travelled.

If you drive your Hummer 400 miles, you'll pay 400*$0.012=$4.80. Drive your Prius 400 miles and you'll pay 400*$0.012=$4.80.

There's no tax incentive for a more fuel efficient vehicle. It will cost the same no matter what vehicle you drive.
