in light of new technology that makes it easier to track cars
That would never be abused, would it?

I drive more than most.

I drive a diesel pickup truck.

Whereas Hondas and the like use less fuel and pay less gas tax as a result, there is no way the tax can be fairly distributed between Hondas, VW’s, Ford’s, etc.

I think taxing by the mile with each model paying an amount based on weight would be the most equitable.

As for tracking, that is not acceptable if stops and street addresses are logged.

Which cities and states are traversed would enable the distribution of highway funds to go to the roads most in use, which would be a fair way to distribute funds.

So the idea is not all bad and the law could be written in a way that benefits states without political favoritism.

But no double taxation. All present state and local gas taxes must be eliminated.
