With all these EPA changes, why haven't they eliminated the Gas Guzzler tax?

Do you think it was for anything else besides just a source of income? Taxing your car for using more gas does nothing to offset the impact, besides providing more tax dollars

They did away with the EV credit, I don’t see them doing away with the guzzler tax. Right to choose, but pay what it costs - pretty much how it going to go with everything. Let’s say they eliminate property taxes in some states. They’ll make up for it elsewhere, but you have a right to choose those other items you buy etc that will have an additional tax. Same with a gas guzzling car. You can choose not to buy one

It never occurred to me until you brought it up, but yeah, and I wanted a refund on the ~$5100 I've paid those basterds besides!

My 17 Cat has 3600 miles on it. It has guzzled less fuel than the eco liberal crowd's four banger! This tax was total BS. Very few people put 20,000 miles a year on their Cat.

Plus, don't we pay tax on each gallon of gas we purchase?? We go through more gas; we pay more tax! No need for an added tax just to screw the consumer
