That's the ideal. But if the alternative to the gas tax is this complicated, inefficient and invasive mile tax, I'm okay with the gas tax as it can encourage "good" behavior. Electric vehicles are more expensive as it is. But if they come down in price maybe a usage tax could be built into the initial price. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
