Just because Washington DC was starting to get to extreme, it looks like Oregon wants to up the tax lunacy with a fuel efficient vehicle tax. Turns out that fuel efficient vehicles mean you use less gas, insert sarcastic O RLY cue the internal What the Fuck, or WTF.
This is because you use less gas and therefore there are lower gas tax revenues collected, so now if you have an efficient vehicle(over 55 mpg) you get to pay a few cents PER MILE, to drive your car. I'm not sure where exactly I got confused at first, but this is just sloppy legislation, and an even sloppier commision report. There is an easy solution to road usage and repair costs, its called a toll. It's used all over, and people pay it to use a service. Or to go old school, say income taxes, property taxes or the standard ones vice a per mile fee to drive your car.
