where you live

Not sure why you think that income tax has anything to do with the gas tax. It is not income which is what income tax is. In BC it is a complete rip off of all those who have little choice but to drive to and/or from work, probably so that they can pay income tax which by the way was supposed to have ended after the second world war. If anyone thinks that raising the price of gas in BC will stop people from driving then they are fooling themselves and just buying into the Liberal propaganda. For those of us who live close to the US border we will continue to go to the states to buy gas where we can save from $20 to $40 Cdn on a fill up and that includes the drive down.
