Don't punish people for driving hybrids, but don't punish people for driving inefficient cars. The government itself is the problem here, not the users of the roads.

Yeah, no kidding there, TM.
The highway dept. in the area has been working on attaching an existing highway to a newly expanded highway. The difference being about 5 miles of two lane road that would have to be expanded on both sides by adding one lane and a shoulder. It officially 'opens' next week and it only took them 3 years to do it. Of course, they're ahead of schedule like six months, so, it's a big success and the highway dept. is 'real excited.'
