Oregon began testing this concept decades ago on big commercial trucks. I know because once upon a time, a long time ago, I was an independent trucker. I stayed out of Oregon as much as possible because of their highest in the nation road use tax.

This cost Oregon tax payers dearly in lost business and higher shipping costs as Oregon taxes on commercial vehicles were not just higher than other states by a little, but by huge margin.

Apparently, Oregon politicians are so happy with what they wrought on commercial vehicles they want to do it to everybody.
