We arguably pay this stuff already now - it's call gas taxes, vehicle sales taxes, "impact fees", registration fees, roadway construction taxes, property taxes, etc.

On one hand, I wouldn't have a problem with it if it were the ONLY source of revenue, but on the other hand there are already so many sources of "highway construction / reconstruction" revenue from so many different sources it's hard to believe the government agencies aren't doing a little (or a lot) of "double dipping" and should therefore not be allowed to add yet another roadway-related tax.

Want to solve the problem of busted-up roadways, congestion, over-consumption of oil, etc? Say all non-commercial vehicles that get less than 20mpg have to be off the road in 12 months. Commercially-registered vehicles have to pay higher taxes / fees based on their weight / fuel consumption.

Problem solved.
