Raise taxes for the sake of social engineering? What is the requirement for this new .25/gal tax? Without a requirement this is simply an exercise in social engineering and is ridiculous. The resultant tax surplus would be readily grabbed by our legislative/executive leadership and new programs created to make use of this surplus. And good luck ever getting those new, unnecessary programs to die once they've outlived their usefullness (if they ever had any). One more reason govt should stay out of private industry and car makers should not try to make tax policy.
(FYI, the above post is not "politics"...because I said so, and I mention no political party AND I said "car makers")
