< ... Which brings up this study I found today: < Do Motor Vehicle Users in the US Pay Their Way? http://pubs.its.ucdavis.edu/download_pdf.php?id=1139
< The study indicates that US motor-vehicle users fall short of paying their own way for roads by a margin of 20-70 cents per gallon of gasoline < The study also mentions that in this accounting they include only government expenditures and not any ‘‘external’’ costs of motor-vehicle use. That is HUGE omission and includes things like degraded air, health implications, impacts of sprawl, etc.. Driving costs 52.3¢ per mile, or $5500-$7000 per year according to the AAA. http://www.oasisdesign.net/transport/cars/cost.htm $5 per gallon of gasoline burned http://www.spur.org/documents/050901_article_02.shtm Mike Neuman ____________________________________________________________ Security Camera for your small business.
