You already pay per mile taxes you just dont know and this is just another increase.

Ha! the joke's on us!  Prohibitive fuel costs (due in part to taxes) has caused Americans to drive more efficient vehicles, therefore driving down revenue.

A you can count of the government to want even more of our money.  I'm taxed to death anyway.  How about i just send them all of my paycheck and they can pay for all of my expenses for me.  No, wait, I have a job that pays more than minimum wage so I can't get government assistance.  Plus I'm the wrong... you know I'm just gonna stop there.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says he wants to consider taxing motorists based on how many miles they drive rather than how much gasoline they burn

Quote
"We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled," the former Illinois Republican lawmaker said.

This is exactly what the gas guzzler auto-makers want.

It will still be that way...they only want to add additional taxation onto that and here in Alabama they have suggested in recent weeks to hit you with a monthly fee if you DO NOT carpool. They are pushing a commute smart program where they will pay you $2 a day if you carpool...that money apparently goes to everyone on the registered carpool list. It kind of sucks because we do not have reliable public transportation in this state to take the burden off of people wanting to use it instead of their vehicles.

the article also says they want to put a gps unit in every car.... :O
who is gonna pay for that? What if you ride a bike? Will you pay less? What if your car is broke down and you have it towed? Are they gonna remove the gas tax we already pay?

To many questions and as usual not enough answers.

Yeah we got change.... :cry

Why not,
it happens all over in just about every country in the world...in one form or another, but it amounts to the same. i.e.  a road tax...

I understand that. My question would be is the mileage tax in addition to fuel taxes? Also I wonder
if they will increase the number of toll bridges and highways?
