[QUOTE="wily_old_vet, post: 56930"] wkmac-My point was that by encouraging higher mileage vehicles the federal and state coffers didn't get their much needed replenishment so they had to come up with another way to come up with the cash. Voila, the mileage tax. Never mind maybe trying to cut back on the waste, the gov't must have their (I prefer to think of it as my) cash. The same thing has happened with cigarette taxes. On one hand gov't says quit smoking so you will remain healthy but when people do and their cash flow is cut they jack up the taxes on cigarettes. Gov't needs to cut back.
