LOL, this is the greatest plan ever. Taxing gas makes so much more sense. If I drive a gas guzzling SUV 1000 miles I pay the same tax as someone driving a 50 MPG Yugo. So eventhough I consume 100 Gallons of gas and the Yugo consumes 20 Gallons, the idiot in the Yugo still has to pay the same tax! These guys penalize fuel efficency!!!

Who says they won't. Seriously, the next step in their plan (after punishing you for not driving when and where they want you to drive) is to adjust the tolling based on the type of vehicle. This is an incredible amount of power that we're enabling government to grab, and most people arguing with me are the enablers.

Absolutely! Once they realize this, or some leftist in their Yugo start gripeing "it isn't fair, it isn't fair", then, a "fairer tax" will be enacted, to insure that all pay "their fair share". (sound familiar?)

PS, for anybody that thinks this tax will replace the fuel tax; I got some PRIME beachfront property West Virginia I'll sell you, or a bridge....
