Taxes are taxes are taxes. They all suck but some make more sense than others. A tax on gasoline will always make more sense than a tax on an individual's income.
Bearcat428: Have you started thinking about ways you can change your business to make it less reliant on gasoline? Maybe you should think about going into a different kind of business.

of course i am and all other businesses are, causing the cost of everything to go up.
if everyone in my industry looked for a different kind of business, you wouldn't have roads to drive on, bridges to cross, a home to sleep in, a store to shop in ......
and as for ways to raise revenue. how about reducing the amount of revenue needed? you know, if you're going to push for something, why not get to the root of the problem. otherwise you're only empowering the problem.
