Our state has experimented on GPS in gas. I'd embrace this if it replaced the gas tax. But if it only goes to supplement the gas tax, then it's just a new tax on top of the old tax. Nuh-uh.

Yes, that was the premise when it began. As technology has developed, the equity of the gas tax has declined. - Strongbad Oct 15, 09:56 3
