re: Louisiana now charges road usage fee for electric and hybrid vehicles

So 10,000 miles a year. With 2/3rds of that in Louisiana.

6,666 miles in Louisiana at 45 miles per gallon is 148 gallons.

148 gallons at .20 cents of tax per gallon is around $30 a year. Plus your state fee of $60 comes out to $90.

If I do that same math on a truck for 6,666 miles that gets 20 MPG it comes out to around $67.

Congrats on having to pay a measly $23 more a year.

And think about how much more damage your ghastly heavy truck is doing to our dear roads!!!

I kid. I've already said I don't care about the money. It's literally nothing to me. Was simply pointing out that I'm now paying "more than my fair share". I'm just glad that we could finally, at least roughly, agree on the math
