Ha ha!
Been to Europe with the more expensive gas and I think scooters will be the solo rides of the future and bikes if close by.
The government like it all ways in their favor just like smoking. They want increased revenues but to decrease the use of gas engine vehicles. They will eventually will boot people out of some of the cars through taxation and once more are out they will prorate taxes based on the miles on the street. Can see scooters an bikes fitted with tax devices in the future.
At some point the answer is to force them to stop all that and to make government much smaller and in less need of everyone else’s money.
Yup, you do what the government wants and then the politicians start bitching about “lost revenue” (Like a-hole politicians actually produce anything except jack crap control). Just look at electric cars and fuel efficient hybrids.
Next thing you know they will start installing some privacy destroying device on your vehicle be it an electric car or bike in order to “regain” their precious “lost revenue” so they can blow through that money too.
