Seems IIRC there is a plan to put a GPS tag on cars to monitor how
much they are driven and then tax you for that. PDX is doing a
"test" of this system. Even had some idiots apply to be test
subjects. Think there was talk of a "test' here in Seattle too.

So, what is the going rate of "road tax" for hybrid electric

for lunch as a "motive fuel"?
If we convert used veggie oil, do we get a rebate on the tax
charged to the restaurant for the cooking oil?
Seems to me that the taxing authorities should just back off and
leave the veggie wierdos alone for the moment.
Anyone willing to fool around with that mess and put their vehicle
engine at some risk in using it should reap some
silly benefit. I really have to think that it is never going to
become a widespread source of power. It is more of
a Mother Earth News hippie back to the land sort of idea. Not very
practical for most of us in urban settings with
no barn to store the mess.

what mechanism do you offer the veggie guys to "pay their share"?
how can they even do it if they wanted to?
Keep track of how many gallons they put in their car. Send the gov't
a check every quarter for the taxes due. Not so hard.
