Do you really assume the money collected by means of this new tax will be spent for sake of environment?! My experience by no way could confirm this.
Not at all, but neither is the insane amount of tax levied on other fuels. Hence why I said they should just have called it what it is (a regular tax to plug their budgets)
Even in cases of a road tax levied on registered cars, often very little of the road tax goes towards maintaining roads. Par for the course...
