Their gas tax is expected to reach 59 cents this year and up to 66 cents withing two years! I love it when liberals are punished by the stooopid policies they vote for!
NJ was around there until they decided to add 30 cents over the last few years. Initially it was 23 cents. When they didnât hit their target revenue, they kept raising it. I still donât think they hit their mark.
Theyâre claiming less people stop to get gas before leaving the state. You donât say? People arenât stopping because prices are no longer cheaper.
NJ is a small state, it doesnât take long to drive out of it from anywhere in it. A shorter time since anyone with any sense is driving out of it as quickly as they can. While it doesnât take long to drive out of it, any time spent in NJ can seem like a painful eternity.
Doesnât take long? I used to work at an exit where it could take you hours to just go a few miles to the bridge to NY. I sat there watching and enjoying every minute of it. Iâm not sitting in that crap.
How do you plan on saving on tolls? How will you avoid my sinister roadway? Then tolls into NYC, then congestion pricing. You will be rolled for 50-75 bucks in and out of there unless you drive an amphibious car. I hope youâre not pulling a trailer. Triple that price.
â â â â â â â â â It may not be a âgas tax,â but the free ride ended four years ago.
âStarting this month (July 2020,) a one-time upfront registration fee of $100 will be charged for 2020 model year plug-in vehicles in California. That will be followed by an annual registration fee of up to $175 based on the vehicleâs value.â
And knowing the way California operates, it wonât stop there. As more ICEs are replaced by EVs, they will be forced to make up the loss of revenue from fuel taxes by getting the equivalent revenue from EV vehicle owners by some other means.
California does charge 108 dollars to register your EV. Thatâs one of the lower ones. Liberal in NJ will start paying $250 to register your EV, and it goes up 10 dollars a year for 4 or 5 years. And they want four years up front. Thereâs your gas tax.
