They are stupid if they think the milage tax will not be collected. The guy with the new Prius will pay the same milage tax as the guy with 1975 454 3/4 ton Chev getting 6 mpg.

Yep, we have a lot of roads and bridges to pay for and those hybrids won't ride for free.

In the interests of those trying to follow along at home:

billwald asked, "A way to punish people who drive high MPG vehicles?"

lebuick answered, "They are already punished by having to buy more gas."

targus asked, "People who drive high MPG cars are punished by having to buy more gas????"

lebuick answered, "Lets see buddy, if I drive an economy care I might pay $20/wk for gas. Driving a guzzler may cost me $60/wk gas. You don't see anything in this picture?"

targus said, "Hint - high MPG car = use less gas."

lebuick said, "Exactly what I have been trying to tell you... Glad you get it now."


Targus now asks, "What the....????

I have to admit that LeBuick's posts give me something to laugh about as I go about my day.:laugh:
