Oregon To Be First In Nation To Implement Per-Mile Road Tax Program

The Truth About Cars ^ | 3/9/2015 | Cameron Aubernon

[Logical me]

Ignorant beyond belief. The increase cost to truck in supplies will be passed on to consumers. So watch your food and other items. Oregon, you are approaching the most idiotic State in the US.

[taxcontrol]

Or what about the opposite, people who make their own bio-diesel or ethanol fuel?

[IronJack]

Is there any way to spoof that OBD port and to reroute it to another module that you can program to register whatever mileage you want?

Is there any other way to tell the gestapo to go f___ themselves?

[lentulusgracchus]

Tax for storing rain and tax for letting it run off. They tax us coming and going. In the front door and out the back. Death and taxes.

In Houston, Fat Girl taxes us monthly on how much rain falls on our roofs and driveways. When it doesn't rain all month she taxes us anyway. Seems like that could invite a court challenge during droughts like 2011's.

So if I DON’T drive or own a vehicle do I get a tax credit? /s

[MeganC]

Oh, yeah. Sooner or later the government will simply start seizing all of our assets and all of our income and then rationing it back to us as they determine we need it.

And they’ll do it for the children, of course.

[nothingnew]

So Oregon will be removing their state portion of the gasoline tax?

Bwahahahaha! Only a fool in paradise would believe that!....(no offense meant).

Now being??

Ever tried traveling w/out the permission of the State (drivers license, tags, registration...talk about a racket when it comes to the last two)? How legal is it these days to go hitch-hiking...or even walking along the shoulder of I-95/etc.?

[old gringo]

there used to be off road pumps at the filling stations,no road tax,but that was long ago.

[bike800]

And if they travel out of state? How will they be made to prove what mileage was done in state?

[cork]

They are out there. They aren’t cheap. They are illegal because they can be used to change the odometer reading. You are better off getting caught for murder than rolling back car mileages.

I see a new revenue stream!!!!

And of course the state will refund the state tax on gas to all the folks that opt for the mileage tax. /s

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Every special-interest in the state will be lining up for their cut.

[SkyDancer]

Well if you believe the dead shall rise again, don’t pay your IRS taxes ... they’ll come after you and bring you back. As for Revrund Charlatan ... he black so it’d be racis’ if you go after him ...

[unread]

Oregon is where your not allowed to pump your own gas...right..??

[IronJack]

You wouldn't necessarily roll back the odometer mileage, although I can see how that would be an obvious option of such a device. I'm just talking about something that could stand in for the true mileage register when some gestapo agent comes looking to tax your driving. When you sold the car, you'd remove it and the true mileage would register.

At least if you were honest with the buyer. There's nothing whatsoever wrong with screwing the government, in my book, but a private party is another story.

[Svartalfiar]

I don’t understand why they need (technically) to pull anything off the OBD. I’m pretty sure every car has this little thing in the dashboard that has numbers on it that tell you how many miles are on the vehicle. An odometer, or something like that. Mileage that you report when you get an inspection, registration, oil change, etc etc.

The only exception being very few vehicles that have a mileage exemption.
