You said -- "Wow, there's going to be a run-up on the price of old "pre GPS" cars! Keep your old 1965 chevy!!"

I seem to remember reading something about this particular taxing plan about a year or two ago. It's been "in the works" for a while now. If I remember right, the older cars or those that don't have it (can't remember all the details about it) -- would be charged more, via the pumps -- while those who had a GPS device would be getting a break. That way, you end up paying *more* at the pump and *less* with the GPS device.

So, you see, the way they'll get people, in the beginning -- is by saving money the one way. You see, they'll never eliminate the collecting of the taxes at the pump, because there will be out of out-of-state cares around. But, they will end up paying a lot more than the in-state cars, because they'll be paying "at the pump" and at a higher rate.

I remember that was the "gotcha point" of the whole plan. So, it was an incentive to have the GPS device -- overall. I just can't remember all the details involved in it. And, furthermore, it will probably morph and change by the time it gets implemented.
