Who is this going to hurt the most? With the Wuhan Flu lockdowns, white collar companies (mine inclusive) have gone remote. Who can't go remote? Restaurant workers, grocery store workers, delivery drivers (OK, I'm biased, my son drives for UPS and has a 25 mile 1 way commute to the distribution facility). Anybody that can work from home will work from home.
They wanted more fuel efficient vehicles, they got them. They wanted less driving, they got it. Now the money is drying up and need a new revenue stream.
Will they eliminate the existing gas tax, or will this be an additional tax? If it is additional, those who cannot work remotely are doubly screwed.
