Reports by Consumers

Tax by the mile schemes are harder to enforce than simple gas tax. Plus gas tax incents consumers to buy more efficient cars.

From Monty comes an article about some states’ plans to turn the gas-tax into a per-mile-driven tax. The reasoning is that hybrid cars drive the same amount, but pay less in gas-tax so the states lose money for road maintenance. I counter-argue that all those gas-guzzling H2’s and such on the road will counter that.
