    This is disappointing

    It’s even more disappointing that I would bet money that gas stations will not lower their prices by the same amount as the tax because of this. They’ll go down maybe 5 cents and claim it’s the savings.

    The average family is going to lose money from dropping this policy, they were getting more from the rebate than they were spending on the tax.

      I’m not gonna lie, this tax did nothing for me. It did not influence my purchasing decisions. I already hardly drive my vehicle, but when I need to get somewhere I don’t even have any other option than to take a vehicle.

      I’m also certainly not going to heat my home any differently, so it is what it is and I just kept paying.
