Yeah, they pay sales tax here. And we do need to raise our gas tax, but its sadly politically infeasible.

What I'm getting at is there are costs other than just gas, car payments, maintenance when taking car trips. Things like needing to be alert to drive, parking, and navigating that Uber lowers and creates demand for trips where people otherwise wouldn't drive/take a car and may have foregone altogether.
