[QUOTE="soberups, post: 806098, member: 14668"] If everybody drove fuel efficient vehicles, we could raise the per-gallon tax on gasoline without directly impacting the cost for the average motorist to drive. A 15 MPG vehicle running on $2 per gallon gas is more expensive to operate than a 40 MPG vehicle running on $4 per gallon gas that includes a $2 per gallon tax. Imagine that $2 per gallon tax being used to repair our infrastructure and directly reduce the federal deficit that we are dumping off onto our grandchildren. If domestically-produced biofuels were exempt from such a tax, then the money spent on thos fuels would stay in the United States and stimulate [I]our[/I] economy instead of being sent overseas to stimulate the bank account of some Arab shiek.
