I’m having trouble seeing how it would be a problem in raising the gas tax at the pumps to fund roads, versus, getting a tax via GPS, through mileage.

I know that they’re saying that some vehicles are getting better mileage, so that vehicle’s gas tax is lower than what it should be, compared to a lower MPG-vehicle. But, if that’s the case, just average all the cars together and get a gas tax that works, overall, to fund the roads.

I really don’t see the necessity or the “problem” that this GPS-system solves...

Well, they don't get as much information that way, which from their point of view is a problem. (Not from mine)
