Seems like some states see things differently. Not long ago there were public service announcements in our state to encourage car pooling and trip consolidation. When gas hit $4.00+ a gallon the people seemed to take it to heart and cut our driving by a pretty sizable amount. As a reward for doing such a fine job the State is suggesting that they have to raise fuel taxes because the driving cut backs have caused a shortfall in the state tax base. As car sales fell so did registration income and the state cried poormouth again. It is like you just can’t win.
