I was actually going to suggest this earlier but never got around to it. That was the purpose of my initial question. It is a simple solution that doesn't track movements but allows for a tax-per-mile solution. I think if they implement this, though, it should be universal and done in place of the gasoline tax. The problem is that they never replace taxes they just add to them.
