rural areas will be taxed a lot more.. when a person has to drive 100 miles for a doctor's appointment...

Seems like that will favor gas guzzler vehicles. So electric/hybrid would pay more & gas guzzlers pay less?

Wasn’t part of the point of gas tax to incentivize electric vehicles? Lowering the price of gas isn’t exactly a good thing

I’m curious, how would this feasibly happen? How do you report your mileage? Do you report how many miles your car has on it each year with

I would prefer the vmt over gas tax. Gas tax unfairly charges more for utility vehicles that don't do much driving but have to idle to run equipment.

Oh so now they’re worried about fairness? How is this going to apply to Semi drivers?. We drive over 11,000 miles a month

So...will truck drivers now pay higher taxes? Won’t that just raise the price of the goods they’re transporting? Serious question.

I am totally against VMT. I live in a rural area and commute to city for work. I don't want to live in the city.
