That is not a new tax, it is the current tax updated to the current price. I would rather the tax be per gallon not on the price but it is what it is. It is disingenuous to call it a tax increase. If you look at a car that is $20,000 but buy a truck that us $50,000 and the tax is 7% did they increase your taxes on the truck?Yes. See post #1834.
