Non-tax, non-ethicanol gasoline should be REQUIRED at all gas stations for these purposes. FAIR TAXES before NEW TAXES.
So let me get this straight, you are saying you’re opposed to tax based on vehicle type and mileage driven annually instead of by the gallon as it is now?
How exactly do you suppose they would calculate the mileage you do on your lawn mower?
You didn't read and understand the post you quoted, did you. (That is not a question.)
Actually, grammatically it IS a question, ending it with “did you” makes it so.
But yes I DID read it and understand it. The part DiskDoctr didn’t mention explicitly but would obviously be included in his list would be things like ATVks, UTV’s, dirt bikes, boats and PWC’s. All of which consume ‘road tax’ bearing fuels and which no tax could be calculated using a ‘mileage driven’ type of taxation.
My ‘lawn mower’ has a 43hp Diesel engine that burns a fair amount of fuel travelling around on the public road system, it’s only fair that I pay my share of road taxes isn’t it?
