Correction: Two hundred Triangle drivers will be recruited this fall to road-test a satellite-technology system that might be used one day to collect highway taxes on every mile we drive -- replacing in addition to the gas tax on every gallon we buy.

That’s my thought - First “replace” the tax with the satellite info, THEN re-institute the gas tax as a “fair” way to tax the gas guzzlers.
