	Because taxes aren't market forces. It should be a level playing  
field, but my idea of leveling the playing field isn't to add more  
taxes, but less. Remember, I lean libertarian.

	No, not at all. I'm not amused by all the E85 stuff. I'm all for more  
options, but I don't think it makes much difference in this case.

	For the record, I drive a relatively efficient petroleum VW New  
Beetle (33 or so MPG on the highway). It doesn't take E85, even if I  
wanted it to...
