As a matter of principle, I won’t use the turnpike now, and since the tax started buy ALL my gas in MD, since it is only ~20 miles away. These idiots should know enough about economics to know that once you pass a certain threshold you will LOSE revenue as people become sufficiently motivated to avoid the tax. I would love to see what the actual change in revenue has been since they passed the tax, because the vast majority of the population live within ~30 miles of state lines where gas is a lot cheaper.
The tax increase, which is actually a gradual elimination of the limit on the oil receipts tax, is already not performing to expectations, since the price of oil plummeted a couple of years ago.
