"Will the gasoline tax be eliminated when the "per mile" tax is added?"
You're being sarcastic, right?
This proposal isn't about fairer taxes. That gas sipping hybrid weighs less and will cause less wear on the roads as well as using less gas.
We didn't see the government lowering taxes when people started driving gas guzzling SUVs did we?
This is just an excuse to find a new way to raise taxes.
Not long ago they were suggesting that the per gallon gas tax be increased in CA to punish people with their gas guzzling SUVs.
People switch to more efficient cars? The solution is of course to raise taxes by having a tax on the number of miles you drive.
Of course to be able to enforce this new tax they'll have to be able to keep a record of how much you drive each time you fill up with gas, and where you filled up.
Nothing the leftist government seems to like more than keeping more information on the habbits of their citizens.
I drive about 60,000 miles each year selling on the road. OUCH!
