> The only time you can even think of proposing a gas-tax increase is when oil prices are at rock bottom.
Don’t Gruber us. The gas tax is per gallon, not per dollar. Whether “oil prices are at rock bottom” has nothing to do with it.
Federal Gas taxes may be, but Georgia has gasoline tax that is keyed to the price of gas.
Let’s see... My recent diesel fuel purchase netted the gov. this week $480.40 on 880 gals. Don’t get me started about 2290 Federal Highway use taxes, and the IFTA taxes and the thousands we pay in license fees, etc. If they actually used the monies collected for Highway use instead of pet projects like bike paths, our roads would be smooth as a baby’s but.
