Motorists' habits spur call for tax increasesSo let me get this straight - gas prices go sky high causing people to drive less. On the one hand, greenies and Algore love it because we're burning less fossil fuels. On the other hand, governments lose tax revenue for building more and better roads. And on the other hand, there are fewer vehicles to make roads for. But on the other hand, mass transit systems get more business, but their rates will go up because of higher taxes.

What's going to happen when we start using so-called "alternative fuels"? That shit is going to be taxed so bad to compensate for the lack of gas taxes, it will be unaffordable.
Fuck me.
