Your mileage is in the computer which can be remotely monitored.

Kinda hard to do in a 1985 Chevy pickup or late 1990’s truck. Not everyone out here bought those 4-wheeled spy apps that cost almost as much as a small home in rural Texas.

My father's first job, in the 1930s, was for a car dealership. One of his duties was to roll back the odometer on used cars.

I guess that isn't possible with recent model cars.

“Not everyone out here bought those 4-wheeled spy apps...”

I sincerely doubt they will do it on an independent computer. It wouldn’t be cost effective. They will make up an average mileage and just call it a use tax or some other new terminology. And it will be up to you to show you didn’t go that far and they will charge you for that action when they plug into your computer that your car will have to have to prove overages. And they know that most will go over the number and make up for those that didn’t and will not say a thing so that use fee doesn’t have to be reasonable. And the tax will have a cost of existence increase yearly because of it.

Oh, and of course the state has vehicles it has to pay for, so you’ll get that increase too. And the taxpayer will have no idea how far they went and if the trip was necessary because everything is changeable. And this time they will move the odometers forward, not back as it means faster depreciation for new vehicles, electric this time.

Isn’t this fun to play the popular new game of “We’re Going To Screw You Any Way We Can.” Home version will be out soon....very soon only it won’t be your home anymore.
