“Restrict your travel.’

It could be done with toll roads fairly easily.

Actually it is, in part, the law of unintended consequences.

The state raises the fuel efficiency standards and over time people use less gasoline to achieve the same distance. But, the cost to maintain the road stays the same. Thus by making cars more efficient the state loses money. Then you add electric cars into the mix and you realize that Tesla/Volt/Leaf drivers are actually engaging in tax evasion. Since the cost of taxes on gasoline are between 30% and 50% of the price in most places the state loses lots of money.

If you want to stop these plans ban electric cars or make electric and hybrid car owners pay a yearly tax, based on the number of miles driven that will cover the wear and tear on the roads from driving their “Environmentally Friendly” coal powered car

Folks need to come out in mass and swamp the steps of their capital buildings and drivers should block the roads around the city as a civil disobidience to this.

No more stupid @$$ wayz to separate folks from their hard earned tax dollars.

Good grief.
