As I read it, the mileage didn't replace the gas tax. Instead, "both
tax systems coexist, charging out-of-state, and older vehicles by the
gallon..." (p.6).
This makes more sense to me than replacing the gas tax, as a mileage
tax alone would not be an incentive to use smaller higher-mpg cars.

Hi all.
This is my first post to Bikies. I get this great online magazine
called
CitiesGoGreen. In this months issue, a small article highlights the
State of Oregon's successful Road User Fee Pilot Program, which would
replace the gas tax by a mileage tax. Wisconsin is known for being a
leader, and with the miles and miles of roads, would this be feasible
for us? Who knows, but food for thought. For the whole article:
