It looks like Utah is fake conservative when it comes to taxes.

Gas tax is a fair tax. Users of roads should pay for road maintenance

Is fuel tax only used on roads and what about EVs?

how to account for EV or 50mpg vs 20mpg?

Seems like vehicle registration might be the way to gather money for roads

My state charges an extra $150 annual registration for evs

And Chevron is probably thinking, "Oh darn. I guess I'll make even more money

Jesse Pinkman

Apr 29, 1:10pm

but then Newsom sues Chevron for "price gouging" and demonizes them as evil oil

If that happened, gas would be $9/gallon in California

Everything is more expensive out west, probably due to a few factors.
