It's going to be difficult to deduct it via other means though. At least with cutting petrol taxes you would know for sure that you are only changing the price of petrol. But income tax changes would be uneven. People who don't drive much would benefit while people who drive for a living might suffer, because the tax break wouldn't cover their price increase.
