It might save me a lot of money.

I drive 5K miles a year at most.

The volunteer plans I have heard about include some sort of rebate/refund of your gasoline taxes.

I also love the idea of a Leaf driver paying the same or more in road taxes than a Mustang GT driver.

After all, these hybrids and electrics are just as heavy, if not heavier.

I wouldn’t dismiss the mileage tax idea without a lot of thought.

Yea well that rebate idea would last a year or maybe 5 at the most.

Then it would end and the same politicians will raise both the gas taxes and the tax per mile. All because the pet projects the money is supposed to pay for has been costing more than they projected.

Don’t ever never fall for the idea that any new tax is a good tax my friend. Trust me, no tax is good, because no old tax it was supposed to replace never goes away.

Thanks for the clarification. I missed the part about the rebate on the gas tax.

In general I am in favor of other people owning hybrids or electrics. It just leaves that much more gas for me. ;0)
