Indiana penalty for having a Hybrid

[BG1988]

Indiana in their infinite wisdom decided Hybrid owners are not paying their fair share of road tax because they get such great mileage, so ALL hybrids have to pay an additional $50 every year at registration time.

Problem is they didn't do ANY research or they would know that a 2009 GM Hybrid still get less mileage than a typical new gasoline car.
Also how about the owner of a 2018 Silverado "Hybrid" that is rated 16 city, 21 highway?

Both instances more than pay their fair share of road tax thru fuel purchases.

I think you should get a 50$ off rather then 50$ added on

Same shit is going on with solar power. Utilities have lobbied the state regulators to allow them to limit “metering” (feeding excess solar power into the grid) for money. Also, some utilities are charging substantial fees for solar homes to have power after dark. It’s such a scam. Environmentalists claim all day that the world will be better with all of this expensive “clean” technology yet everyone’s quality of life degrades.

Thinking about going completely off the grid? Get ready to get a “fairness” surcharge. You’re gonna pay no matter what.
