The editorial board’s conclusion that the drop-off in fuel usage in Washington is due to “more efficient vehicles, changes in driving habits, and increasing numbers of hybrid vehicles” is grossly incorrect in its recent editorial regarding a transition from the gas tax to a per-mile fee (“Four failed bills that merit second shot next year,” The Herald, April 15). I’m not taking a position on changes to the gasoline tax either way. However, any such changes should be base on accurate information.
