It really pains me that we are blowing a golden opportunity to collect more gas taxes. Prices are now low enough that significant gas tax increases would do little to affect the economy and would provide a greatly needed financial resource to help support our roads, public transpo, etc.
+1. Incredibly short-sighted if we don't, especially when our infrastructure is in such bad shape. We need new laws to stop the funds from being diverted to a State's General Fund though.
Now I've realized that a glut of Iranian oil might push gas prices down closer to $1 a gallon, I'm even more worried about the eventual fate of the electrification movement. If there is one thing that may push me into a Tesla offering, like it or not, it will be the absence of any other choice in a few years. Talk about nightmare scenarios!
