I believe the plan is sell them gas without the tax.
But hey to be fair, we all should pay both the gas tax and the mileage tax.
I better write a letter to my representative.

Do hybrids get over 55 mpg?

I was thinking this could be especially rewarding for those who buy conventional cars and convert them to electric.

I bought one without an engine. I hire out of work Republican pundits to push it around.

As long as they don't tell anyone.
They might install a sound system so it makes a engine sounds, to fool the cops.

I have enjoyed a little setback. But I have a motorhome, with a 454 Chevy V8. And, once I get my welders back from my running wife, and her new sheriff buddy?, the work will proceed. I follow Wayne Keith's website, and just need my tools, to hit the road burning nothing, but wood. I'm gonna battle a tax rebate out of them, for burning hydrogen. They'll fight me. I'll pay the road tax. Hell, I'll be running free.
