Speaking of added cost. I think all states in the US should restructure their fuel tax system. The reason why diesel is taxed higher than gasoline is because it is mainly used on medium and heavy duty commercial truck applications where there are hardly any gas engines used. This is not the case anymore because there are more and more gas engines being used in medium duty commercial truck applications.
In my opinion, they should dye the diesel and gasoline fuel similar to how they do with non-tax diesel. Anyone using both gas or diesel for commercial use should pay the higher tax rate. They can dye this fuel a certain color similar to how the dye non-tax farm fuel red. Anyone not using gasoline or diesel for commercial purposes should not have any color and pay the same lower tax.
Not disagreeing, but the ramifications of electric vehicles not paying fuel taxes will be much more important to address in the near future.
True, which is why I support registration fee based on how many miles you drive for EV's. They already record you mileage here in Texas when you have your yearly safety inspection. Or just do like what other states are doing and just adding an additional $100 to $200 to registration fees for EV's. That is more than enough to make up for it.
