Here is my 2 cents or $1.149.
If the government is going to continue to take the same percentage which means that they are raking in the dough even more as the price increases then they should at least be puring it back into improving the roads and public transportation.
At one of the highest rates here in Quebec the roads sucks and they are even considering introducing a new tax - The Pot Hole tax.
About reducing teh use of SUVs - think again. Who is this increase in price going to hurt? The people who are on tighter budgets with less disposable income. The people that are probably driving cheaper and more economical cars.
Will the SUV driver be hurt? some maybe but others have the disposable income.
This is not an effective way to get people to stop driving their SUVs. It should soon get people to start reconsidering public transport or carpooling.
