Re: Ah, a free ISP said by AlexNYC:WOW ... surely that can't be true .... you are joking right? Nope. Some parts of the World already do this, your tax is based on how much you drive, and where and when you drive, not your gallons of fuel.
As cars become more fuel efficient, revenues from gasoline taxes fall, and cash strapped states look to other ways to make money.
The idea of "a per mile" tax or roadway toll tracking system aren't new, but the movement is gathering more steam.
Not only that, they can charge you extra for driving into congested areas, at rush hour, etc to encourage "traffic control" or alternative forms of transport.
