Also based on the math by 2018 the gas tax will be about 7 cents a liter, so if we went with that 4000 liters of gas per year calculation for a family of 4, which I still have trouble with, that works out to nearly $290.00 per year just for gas and the rebate is $360.00 so somehow we're left with $70.00 worth of rebate for gas and utilities increases? Not including other incidental cost increases

Business will contribute a lot, I suspect. So that throws your calculation off.
For gas, is 4000 litres fairly normal? My wife and I burn a total of maybe 1000 litres a year, though we don't drive to work.
