The City of Winnipeg levies a $0.005 tax on gasoline. That is $0.20 from me every week. If the lights were synchronized, and I used 15% less fuel, I would only be paying $0.17 per week in City tax. Someone else can do the numbers, but with, say, 300 000 other motorists using 40l/week, the City would be looking at an annual loss of ~$3 300 000/year.
Oh yeah, I get 28/35 mpg. 1/4 ton pick-up - good mileage, strong undercarriage to navigate the craters (repair shops pay business tax!)
Note the massive "bumps" in the streets. There are lots of those... in some areas, you need to slow down drastically before them or you'll bottom out!
@kstatik , I have to conclude that it's not the City that can't "afford" to rebuild our street pavements, but the military elite who want us to have poor roads just in case we need to flee from them...it would slow us down. Is that why then there are more Hummers on the streets ... to counter this?
