Um I thought the gasoline tax kinda already covered this.

It would have if all the mean nasty auto companies hadn't started producing some more fuel-efficient cars.

And if you think there's something contradictory about the liberals' demands, you may be onto something.

But Oregon needs more money to pay for all those gorest fires. To heck with rewarding fuel efficiency. In England, diesel drivers started saving money by using cooking oil. Rather than spend $5 a gallon, it went down to $2.50 a gallon. But the government didn't like that alternate fuel idea. So it is now a crime that will send you to prison in England to run your car off of cooking oil.

Maybe Oregon can add a bicicyle mileage tax as well. It causes more carbon dioxide, after all, to ride a bike. And then they can use the location system to catch speeders, dead beat dads, etc.
