They should get rid of the gas tax and tax all vehicles by weight and miles driven.

This would effectively attack people for living in rural areas, rather than urban sprawl because they have to travel further...

[iAMkenough]

If we want to take Congress earnestly, heavier users of roads should pay heavier taxes.

You could argue urban drivers are currently subsidizing rural drivers because they travel fewer miles in a year.

My opinion is this should be up to each State, and that this is federal government overreach.

They are using the resource the most.

[tzs]

How do? Gas usage is roughly proportional to miles drive, so gas tax is already roughly a tax on miles driven.

Punish the users that use it the most? Sounds fair
