Taxes on gasoline make up 50% of the price.
To pretend that the increase in taxes is there to help pay for renewable energies is a joke.
It's not a secret that the government is broke and looking to raise money any way it can.
It's trying to pass this tax increase as something that needs to be done to save the planet.
But they dont tax the fuel for tankers or airplanes so where is the logic?
It's not the little guy with his diesel car that does most of the damage to the environment.

- daleco 8y agoI think that planes refuel at each trip. They wouldn’t have the choice.
- Tuxer 8y agoIt is. 40% of french emissions are due to personal transportation (cars), 8% airplanes.
