(Ironically, this very forum is proof of how much fuel can be saved when people are actually trying.)
And increased tax revenue from fuel can be used to offset taxes on the bare necessities of life.

I thought the increased taxes went to support more carbon neutral energy. Now we have to use the money to offset increases elsewhere? I'm sure most of it won't get lose in government waste, no danger in that right? So everybody changes their habits to offset. Now millions of those lower end jobs those lower income people had disappear. So you pay them not to work and just stay home. At least VR will be in wide use by then. Just seems like the start of a good sci-fi movie
