The hitch that sank it the first go round in NC was out of town drivers will have usage of our roads for free while NC residents bear the full cost. The gas tax covers everyone using the roads.

The only work around is a GPS and the resulting pissing match between states, to share driver's mileage info, would be epic!

That's why the mileage tax is so hard to implement.

For all its flaws, a system of toll roads makes the most sense if the toll collection can be done without impacting the operation of the roadway. I honestly think that's going to be the way of the future: you'll pay tolls to use roads that give you certain advantages in efficiency (higher speed limits, heavier weight limits for trucks, etc.).
