What the difference between a pay-per-mile tax and a gas tax?

They can measure your gas consumption at the pump when you replace the gas you used.

How do they constitutionally measure the miles you drove in the state? How do they exclude miles driven in other states if the family to a road trip vacation?

If they want to do this, they should eliminate the gas tax and move to tolls on the roads for everyone who drives on the road.

gas tax is per gallon.
pay-per-mile tax would be per mile.

Electric cars don’t pay the gas tax, but they drive on the same roads.

Of course, we know that what they really want is to charge all gas-powered cars the per-mile tax in addition to the per gallon tax, because Washington state leftist politicians hate cars and freedom of movement. They want everybody crammed onto mass transit.
