This message is also further proof that you didn't even read FA's message.
He stated clearly: "Most vehicles that run on diesel are going to run just as much whether there is a tax on it or not seeing as how these are mostly commercial vehicles."
The cut or raise in Diesel taxes will not have much of an impact on consumption, nor does it appear to be intended to do so.
Not only will it have the Conservatives stand directly opposite to the Liberals' Carbon Tax, but it will also have an impact on the 'slowing' economy (less costs, thus less reason to pull back) - also directly opposite to the effect that the Carbon Tax would have.
Isn't it also widely believed that Diesel is a 'cleaner burning' fuel than Gasoline?
