I think a possible problem is that drivers could end up eventually paying both the mileage tax as well as the per gallon gas tax. Governments may see a new tax as a way to raise more revenue, not simply shift to the mileage tax in place of a gas tax.

It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had only one before. H. L. Mencken
