"...If AB 1058 becomes law, California motorists could face billions of dollars in new costs for greenhouse gas regulations, even though such regulations would provide no net benefit to California.

A recent (March 2002) joint report by CARB and the California Energy Commission offers some insights into several strategies to reduce gasoline consumption, and thereby reducing carbon dioxide:

[red]• Another 50-cent-per-gallon increase in gasoline taxes.
• A two-cent tax on every mile driven for all passenger vehicles.
• Extra fees of $3,500 on minivans, light duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and others to discourage consumers from buying them.
• Reduction of the speed limit to 55 miles per hour.
• Recommending new designs for vehicles and engines. [/red]

I know a better way to save gas.

Shoot all those mofos that still live there in the head and repopulate the place with normal human beings.

Does that include this mofo??????????????

Just so you know, there really are only 2 liberal areas in California, LA and SF.  If you split the state in two the Norther California would probably become the most conservative state in the whole USA!!

Man I hate people who lump us all together.[flame]

ummm..there's seven of us.

Isn't this lovely.  Gas is going up sometime next year anyways (Davis postponed it) because their doing something different to the gas.  So gas will most likely go up a dollar...
They want to discourage people from buying vehicles, what if people need those vehicles?  In many cases they're too costly as it is...
And although I don't have proof right now I've heard from a few places that buy when the speed limit was increased to 65 (possibly higher in some places) accidents actually went down...

Youre spared![:D]

Depends.[devil]
