Why would that be good? Nothing else is priced that way.

Also it greatly increases enforcement costs so not only would it have to be better, it would have to be a lot better.

Moreover, I know a lot of very wealthy people that are very frugal and actually care more about $10 than I do.

Car registration effectively works this way in a lot of places, with age and value being a substantial factor to registration fees. The idea being that the rich guy driving a brand new Audi every couple years pays a lot more for his license plate than the person driving a 20yo Corolla.

I guess they could read the plate and charge a toll based on the car, and in no-stop tollways that already rely on plate scanners or transponders, it’d not be that hard to enforce.
