A few months ago Virginia Governor McDonnell enacted a law that made Virginia the ONLY state without a gasoline tax (notice I did not say "first state" since no one else is dumb enough to do this). So people who do not own cars will now fund the road projects and maintenance (in addition to those who do). But he left the State diesel fuel tax in place. To make things fair for all fossil fuel automobile drivers, owners of diesel passenger cars may file a refund for the fuel tax. But "clean fuel" vehicle owners must pay a new $64 yearly fee. That is bass ackwards.
Well I filed my first refund for three tank fulls of diesel fuel under this new asinine law. I wonder how much it costs the State to process and mail one of these refunds. I'll have about 15 filings this year.

Yep, you read it correctly, my refund was $2.73.
