So you'd have to report your mileage monthly or quarterly? Do you think the government is going to wait a full calendar year before getting mileage tax money?I imagine you could pay monthly or quarterly if you want.
Your car can tell you how much you owe
It will cost no more than you currently pay in gas taxes
If you are driving 50 thousand miles a year, you are already paying a lot in gas taxes
And who is going to verify the miles you drive?
You just made registering your car more expensive on top of the tax because every car's odometer will have to be recorded by a DMV employee.
As usual people don;t like to think through all the consequences of stuff like this.
What's going to happen is that everyone's electric bill will go up because that's the easiest way for the government to get the revenue it will lose from the gas tax.
