Wouldn't progressive states like Oregon want to dis-incentivize car buying?

  - I get the feeling Portland is to Oregon as Atlanta is to Georgia. - Roger More Aug 22, 07:42
  - It's because of the low taxes that we're #1. Our gas prices are relatively high but we drive less so our average there is on the low side. - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 22, 07:23 2
    - My guess is that we probably have more hybrid cars on the road as well. -- nm - Bacon Aug 22, 07:28
    - The taxes are clearly the deciding factor from state to state, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 07:27
