Isn’t that what the gas taxes do now? Drive more, burn more, pay more.

If you drive Michigan roads it becomes obvious that the current road tax system is not working. First, we build roads that only last ten years. Then we increase our fleet fuel efficiency and collect less tax to fix those roads. Then we decide to build vehicles that don’t use gasoline and collect no road tax at all. I think it will be inevitable that we end up with a mileage tax.

But could the thought be the government is going to lose those tax dollars with more fuel effient and electric cars?
