No Zeek, they are proposing replacing fuel taxes with a mileage tax. BS. When has the fed govt ever rescinded a tax of any sort? They will add this one on top so they can double dip. You DEMs love you some tax increases. Always have, always will.

I did not see that in the article I read.... that would suck. The article I read made it seem as if it would replace the existing federal gas tax.

you do realize that if they go to a mileage tax that you will have to have a black box installed or it will come with the vehicle when you buy it.
semis have had them for a long time now, unless you are a perfect driver you really don't want black boxes watching over you. they can be used for more than just taxes.
trucks have been paying mileage tax on top of other taxes including fuel tax on diesel, black boxes that link to the co. keep constant watch over what the vehicle is doing.
be careful of the foot in the door.
attach a .02c a mile tax on evs and leave us alone, use current funds for what they were collected to do and we don't need another tax.
people on fixed incomes will be screwed the worst if they have to drive much, drs. hospitals and such. No need for a black box of any sort. Mileage can be recorded during annual inspection and taxed off of that. Of and if you have a late model automobile it already has a black box from the manufacturer.

I did the math when I read about this a couple of weeks ago. If they do .01, I'll save money, if they do .02, I'm screwed.
Uhhh....if your margins are that close then any increase in the price of gas would collapse you. LOL. No, my margins aren't that close, but with a .01 tax I save like $20/year. If I pay .02, I will be paying another $2xx/year. That's almost $20/month. That ain't good, man. I already pay several thousands of dollars in income tax and property taxes. Geez. I get sick of paying taxes, but if they are eliminating the current gas tax with a mileage tax, I'd be okay with that...not with the black box thingamabob, but I think they already have something similar to that. Heck, the insurance companies want to put it in the car so you can get 'savings'. Heck, that would NOT save me money....
