Paul,

A little too quick on the retraction on a Saturday night.

My main problem with gas taxes, etc, is that in many states, gas tax revenue gets spent on other projects. If 100% of gas tax revenues were actually spent on transportation, then perhaps perhaps voters might be more inclined to pay higher gas taxes.

What's the math on the program? Will drivers who driver 1,000 miles per month end up paying about the same with the GPS meter as they would under the current scheme? I hope it's not a way of penalizing fuel efficient cars, which it does sound like.

Main problem with this program is the tracking. Have an accident in which you were doing 5 over, here come the lawyers... The end of privacy.
