Hi, Yes lower prices are good. But with folks driving less and using more efficient cars the amount of money collected by gas taxes is dropping. In order to fix/build roads they are considering a mileage use tax. I hate to guess how they will collect it or even how they will measure it. I can just envision having to attach a device to the vehicles and have it report back to the government the miles (and whatever else they choose to spy on) and then getting something added onto the income tax bite in April. Self reporting is likely to be a disaster as well. Insurance companies will want a look at the data (some collect it now) to base your rates on it. It seems that big brother is getting more tentacles into us all the time.
