Reply to comment by AeneasSonofAnchises in PSA: For those of you who operate non-electric vehicles, note that the NYS sales tax holiday on motor fuels is expiring tomorrow, so fill up before January 1 and save about 40c/gal. by HiFiGuy197

if youre getting "taxed an obscene amount "....... drivers are too

and i guarantee youre not paying anything close to what people pay in the outlaying counties pay in property taxes - the same people who are needed to come into the city to work and buy stuff here...

And that’s why the LIRR was invented. You want to drive in LI fine, but you shouldnt have a right to drive your 2 ton box into the city for free.

Hell, I think the LIRR should be free and the queensboro should have a $100 toll to encourage it

LIRR, MNRR, and the express bus costing more than the subway is a big reason why are a billion times more pleasant to ride than the subway.
