My bet is they say they are "replacing" the gas tax when in fact they are going to double it and use both...

Pass a link on that if you have one.
I have a hard time believing that hybrid's have made a significant difference at the state wide level in gas tax revenues. Even in California - they just haven't got that many of them there yet.
Edit, found this:
1 California 67,533
that's the count of hybrid cars, end of 2007
statewide
Not enough.

5.2 million (registered vehicles) in LA county alone.
Just not enough to make that kind, or ANY kind of difference on a global, or even national scale.
