I think a mileage tax is the most fair but it needs to be implemented in a way that prevents extra data mining (where people went, when, etc.) from getting into the hands of the government or worse still, the insurance companies that own it (major privacy issues). Also it'd need to be enacted as a REPLACEMENT for all existing vehicle taxes, not as a new supplement to them.

Because I don't ever see the powers that be resolving these two major roadblocks, I doubt it'll ever happen and we're likely to be stuck with the present screwed-up system as have, with the government constantly looking for new ways to punish motorists And levy new taxes on them.
