Your question has probably been answered already, but, oh well, I'll answer it again.

When you get your emissions tested, they notate the mileage into their computer, which is connected online to the DMV's computer.

So there you have it. The DMV has a record of your mileage, and when you go into get your tag renewed, they simply subratract the previous years mileage from the current mileage and voila. Divide by 50 and there's your tax.

The original post has some incorrect information. The parts about another 50-cent-per-gallon increase in gas taxes and a two-cent tax on every mile driven apply to all passenger vehicles.

The state can collect the 2-cent tax when people have to come in for their smog checks. The technician always takes down the car's mileage, and that information is transmitted to the state's computers.

Still laughing?
