Digger: We hear from the House that this is so bad because an economic
downturn is not the time for a tax increase. I beg to differ - we're
talking about .03 per gallon of gas. Thats chump change in the long run. I did the math and (revised from my ealier post) it would cost Spazz
and I an extra $2.40 per month assuming we use our budgeted maximum
fuel allowance of 80 gallons between the two cars we own. (My Tahoe
takes 20 per fill x 3 per month and his Cavalier takes 15 per fill only
once a month) That goes to a whopping $4.80 per month in a year when
the tax goes to .06 cents.
Question: What would this gas tax increase cost you per month?
