give them a free ride then do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing to reduce one's dependence on fossil fuels?
do you think it is better to use recycled waste products as a fuel source or do you prefer something some nice new none renewable fossil fuel, perhaps sourced from a place where the natives want you dead? how much money in taxes do you think you are losing to the veggie oil guys? do you think it will materially effect the quality of the roads you and I pay for? what mechanism do you offer the veggie guys to "pay their share"? how can they even do it if they wanted to? end this tyranny. give the veggie guys a pass!

Fuel taxes are supposed to fund the construction and maintenance of roads and related infrastructure. They have nothing to do with funding the production or processing of the fuel, the oil companies have that burden, often complicated by arcane government-mandated regional fuel formulation requirements. Now I don't know if those funds are ever diverted elsewhere, but the theory is good IMO and as far as taxes go they are actually well-justified if used for their intended purpose. People who dodge fuel taxes are getting a free ride on YOUR roads.
