An ULSD powered vehicle typically pays $0.05 more per gallon in road taxes than a gas vehicle getting the same fuel economy. (two VW TDI's in my driveway with >100k miles each). Where I live, a Hybrid suburban can legally drive in the HOV lane with just the driver, because it's a "Hybrid", ignoring the fact that my 2004 TDI gets 2x the fuel economy of a hybrid suburban.
Time to start thinking about how to do an off grid setup for my next property.
