5. I wouldn't worry about fuel taxes.

You may levy less fuel taxes, but you also have less driving. Less driving means lower maintenance costs on the roads. But even if the cost of driving goes up, is that a bad thing or will it simply accelerate the desire for more telecommuting?

I've telecommuted for years, it doesn't mean I've stopped driving. I rarely drive during rush hour, however, and that has made me a lot less stressed.
