This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

    This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes

    I try to drive my ICE car less these days since we have a short-range EV I can use for local runs, but when I was having to fill up my car about once a week, I’d be filling up about 10 gallons, and in CT the gas tax is 25¢/gallon, which works out to exactly $130 annually. Unfortunately that’s state tax and not the federal 18.4¢/gallon, which works out to just under $100 annually.
