Raising motor fuel taxes make no sense. Look what happened when motor fuel prices went up. Sale of motor fuel went down resulting in less motor fuel taxes collected. I will also note the setting fuel economy standards higher has and will continue to have the same affect. More miles will be driven on less gallons of motor fuel consumed resulting in less motor fuel taxes collected.

The least harmful and fairest way to increase the collection of motor fuel taxes is to tax the alternative fuels that are consumed by motor vehicles at the same level. As it stands now ethanol and natural gas are taxed at $0.00.00 for the equivalent BTUs that one get from a gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel.

As to the Georgia Avenue right turn at Spring Street. There is no logic to you conclusion as no transit buses operated by either WMATA or Ride-On turn right off of Georgia Avenue on to Spring Street.
