[quote user="John WR"] Certainly, Sam, we agree that most of us drive and all of us pay for the costs of driving.  But we do not pay proportionally.  Some people drive a lot and pay little; some drive a little and pay a lot and a few don't drive at all but still pay.  Shouldn't each of us pay his or her actual costs of driving?  Isn't that what you mean by "level platform?" John [/quote] As I noted, upper income motorists subsidize lower income motorists. If the full cost of driving were reflected at the pump, the price of fuel would increase significantly.  A significant portion of the cross subsidization of driving would be eliminated.  Many lower income people probably could not afford to drive, or at least drive as much, and would look for alternative modes of transport.  It probably will never happen.
