There is no doubt a mileage-based tax is the most reasonable and logical approach. The problem is how to get the info, since you can't trust people to tell you what it is, and nobody wants their car followed around.

An issue I see with mileage based tax is my mileage is reported when my vehicle is inspected in NC, but not all of my miles are in NC. If the per mile rates are different in each state like the per gallon rates, I wouldn't want to pay NC at a higher rate for the miles I drove in SC, and I don't think SC would like me using their roads with no compensation.

thats why the only really apprpriate solution is a tracker, but nobody wants that (including me). So we're left with not-good solutions.

I can't remember about NC but here the state doesn't get shit from property taxes. Thats only local. in fact the stat put a cap on how much it can increase annually.

Everyone at my plant is asking to work remotely, get gas compensation, or go to 4-10's.......

I remember this dance from the last time gas hit $4/gallon a decade ago. Buckle-up buttercup, stuffs about to get real over the next 3-4 months!

Oh....filled up for $3.99 last night, pushed 16mpg out of the 1500HD!

The annual compensation conversation is coming in the next couple weeks for us. I was ramping up for the "I'm getting a pay cut because of inflation and health insurance costs" but that might be a hard sell when they're just rolling out permanent work from home flexibility.
