Ah, it's all starting to make sense now . . .
Of course, I don't know why they can't come up with another way to tax fuel, cars, etc. to get the money to keep up the highways. Congress doesn't seem to have any problem creating more taxes. Wouldn't that be a pisser! instead of a Gas Guzzler tax, they could create a "Fuel Sipper Tax . . . "

A less anti-road-tax/conspiracy theory perspective:

And the cost of the urea to meet emissions while getting high MPG? http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2010/01/mercedesbenz-gl320-bluetecfeeling-a-bit-adblue-over-spending-a-lot-of-green.html Quote:
So maybe the online guy who claims the "current administration" wants to protect the "tax base" doesn't have his facts quite right. Maybe the manufacturers simply don't want to pay the certification to bring a boutique car that won't sell in adequate numbers to justify the investment in logistics, training, advertising, etc. |

Since most states have balanced budget requirements, I'd look for the states to start this first, not Congress. |

Old thread
FWIW, our 2012 Passat TDI, with an automatic transmission and driving around in DC traffic, is averaging 50MPG! (UK MPG like the guy in the video is talking about). That's just under 42 US MPG. Over the first 10,000 miles it used 2.5 gallons of Urea. -J

It's very impressive to see what we can come up with when we put our minds to it. There's so much that goes on in Washington that we never hear about, good ideas that weren't liked by the right lobbies . . .
