Ah, yes...forgot they slipped that one in down in Mexico.

The fact of the matter is the fuel excise NEVER went to roads.
It goes into general revenue, and given the number of pot-holes around Sydney (aka Toll Road central) the $$ clearly do not go from general revenue to roads in my neck of the woods

North of the border they are also making noises about "road use" levies.
Lord knows, with 1.5% of all vehicles registered as EV's, the system is in risk of imminent collapse! (yeah, right.....)

Even that would be fine if I were not already paying a toll many of Sydney's roads...but to also tax toll road use? WTF?

But for now, I'm delighted to have a zero energy cost for running 'de wheels.

Just Rego, insurance and maybe the occasional set of tyres. As Scotty from
marketing liked to say: "how good is that?"
