Well....it came out today, on the current Green Party political agenda (if elected), they want a 16-cent tax on each liter of gas.
Currently, E10 unleaded runs around 1.50 Euro per liter (figure $1.8 US), and per gallon, this would equal $6.08 a gallon (if you comparing it to US prices.
What this 16-cent deal would do? It'd add another 75-cents (US onto each gallon) and thus making it around $6.83.
What the money would be used for? My humble feeling is that it'd be another enhancement to convince you to dump the gas-powered car, and flip to the E-car business or public transportation. The money collected would likely just be funneled into some pocket for more government projects or 'gifts' to the public.
How this might be received? I might suggest 80-percent of Germans wouldn't be that friendly about additional taxes. You were kinda leaning against the Green Party before....you probably increased your negativity about the party after hearing this idea.
