First the governments wanted more fuel efficient vehicles. Now, they want to overcome less taxes because of fuel efficiency. Funds for highways and roads comes from taxes on fuel. When you reduce the amount of fuel, you reduce the amount of taxes. Duh!
The state of Oregon reportedly has 5,000 drivers that will soon pay a tracking device mileage based tax in lieu of a gas tax. New York city has an idea on how to enhance the tracking device by allowing automatic payment of parking fees and per-mile insurance. Nevada, another state piloting such a project has warned that it would be easy to turn the mileage tracking devices into full fledged tracking devices. Just when you figured out how to hide from drones, they get you when you leave your driveway.
If they adopt this in Texas, I’m going to drive everywhere I go in reverse.
They will owe me money when they check my miles.
