Right? I have to pay an extra $150/year on a hybrid ($250 if I went EV) in registration fees. I’m “not using enough gas to pay my fair share” of highway taxes.
I can understand the need to fund road repairs and that a big chunk, if not majority, of those funds currently come from fuel taxes, but at least my state won’t even entertain the idea of changing that. Nope, tax the woke hippies - problem solved. (My state is dark red and owned by the coal and oil/gas industries in case it wasn’t apparent).

It’s completely ridiculous. Congress will eventually have to address the problem. Or we’ll have to acknowledge that we’re ok with killing the planet.
