No it isn't. We're already taxed based on the miles we drive. It's called having to fill the tank more often if we drive more.
But under the current system, those of us who drive 20-40mpg cars rather than jackholes with 8mpg Hummers end up getting a tax break.
Tax us per mile by mileage trackers, and I have to pay the exact same rate as the environmentally-damaging resource-wasting morons. After all the government programs giving tax breaks to hybrid drivers and other energy conservationists, it's pretty foolish to kill off the farthest-reaching one.
