Sources? Was this some kind of 'it might' (never will) happen thing, or something they're trying to push?

Considering everyone believes the Government is 'in it' with the oil tycoons, I don't believe that would ever happen. Fuel prices is one thing(which people have been able to tolerate), fuel prices + mileage taxing is another.

Another reason I call falsehood would be it would completely kill all transportation services(a major market).

Yeah its bad enough people are pissed about gas prices and most are tolerating it to a point but taxing mileage is a bit ridiculous. I say its false...

Never underestimate the apathy of the public. It's how crap like this gets passed through Congress.

"The test includes an elaborate system for refunding the state fuel tax paid by the volunteers. If the system ever becomes common, Whitty said, the reimbursement would have to be simpler."

So it's not just anal rape, there's an upside.

"He said Oregon is the first state to EXPERIMENT with a mileage fee, although the Congress has authorized eight such projects over the next five years."

Just that, an experiment(s). Good luck convincing a bunch of angry rich white guys to agree on it (Congress).
