[QUOTE="Sonic 03 Cobra, post: 13247895, member: 3825"] IIRC from my days in NC, there system already takes into account both vehicle value as well as miles driven. I'm sure other states have already played around with this as a mechanism for charging the heaviest users of roads a bit more. Paying at the pump won't work because if you have a very efficient car you pay less than say a work truck, even though the efficient car may be driving significantly more miles. The other point against that is that values would need to be constantly changing since efficiency will constantly be changing on average. I'm pretty sure that this variable could be abused or neglected by the local governments. In this scheme the only fair mechanism is to use some metric that will always remain constant. A mile will likely always be a mile so that's fair. [/QUOTE]
