With the soft drink taxes Seattle has done and the meat taxes being proposed, it could almost be cheaper to drive around in circles and fill up on everything at the right spot.



But then they'll say there should be a driving tax.
Blahhhhhh...

I don't cross the border for gas.  I live 15 minutes from the border, but I don't like wasting two hours idling, waiting in customs line, just for gas.



Years back it was OK, and I did that, when a border trip was quick!



Now, the fucking Chinks flood to and from the border...  Chinks like to spend five hours saving five dollars!



No fucking thanks.  Let the Chinks idle their vehicles there all day.



I only go if I need a specific item I cannot get here.

With federal and provincial gasoline taxes along with a provincial carbon tax, we already pay something like a fifty per cent carbon tax.

TransLink is trying to implement exactly this! Pay $1.27 every time you cross a bridge, or use a tunnel, in metro Vancouver.

I don't mind road tolls. But, Vancouver is double dipping with gas taxes and road taxes. They are frickin greedy.

My son went up north near New Hampshire a few months ago. He didnt have change for the tolls, so they told him they would send a bill. Well, since the car was in both our names, of course the bill came to me. They charged him "administration fees" and tried making him pay over $150 for 3 tolls that came to $5. I got him out of one of them, but he still had to pay a lil over $100.
I've come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

Lol, its insane, it was through New Jersey. I tried to fight them, won one, defeated by two, but he had to pay it not me lol. My name was on the bill, but I told him he was the one that did the trip. Most expensive piece of pussy he has paid for lolol (his gf was up there visiting family for the summer).

When I lived and worked in Pennsylvania, I got a photo ticket while in New Jersey. I did not want to pay it because I was going overseas again right away, but I did anyway. Believe it or not, it can cause problems if you want to drive into the states if you do not pay it.

We don't have toll  highways in my province, but they do next door in BC..



I thought it was like a quarter each time one drove on a toll highway.
