For the miles ridden, we tear up the road much less than a F350. There would have to be weight classes or something like that. After a bit of consideration, I think the current system is fair. If your vehicle is heavier, you use more fuel and therefore pay more tax because your heavier vehicle tears up the road more. Except for electric cars. They pay no tax at the pump. [/QUOTE]
