Fuel taxes. That's the reason my government doesn't even try to improve fuel economy. In fact, it's doing its best to
increase fuel consumption:
While the rest of Europe is
lowering speed limits on highways to 120km/h (Spain recently lowered to 110km/h), Poland
increased the speed limit on highways (130 to 140km/h) and expressways (110 to 120km/h).
But wait, that's not all! The same new law states that the error margin of police radars is 10km/h, so anyone can go that much faster without getting a ticket. In other words, 150km/h on the highway, instead of Europe's 120.

Gotta add that to my
