    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    California has a really good handle on auto tax dodgers, so it won't work there.

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    Actually, the break even point is 24 MPG ($3.55/gal pump cost). Anything more than that, and people will start losing money with a VMT/no per Gallon tax.

    F1 2014 Season

    Heavy commercial vehicles do the most damage to roads, not light vehicles owned by private individuals. If governments really wanted to be effective, then the VMT would be applied to commercial vehicles only, and at a rate that corresponds with the wear they do to the highways. Eventually...

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    It's obviously a way to cloak declining tax revenues by placing the burden on all drivers, not just the drivers of HEV's. If this were simply the issue that they are saying it is, then the tax would be levied only to HEV vehicles, not all of them. Further, this will eventually (sooner rather...

    Guha has a point....but first, before we apologize for all the "slope" invectives, Japan has to recognize the Bataan Death March, for one, and fess up to their populace as to why they got nuked in the first place. Clues for the clueless, neither is going to happen. They have neat cars in...
