The only folks who should really be paying road taxes are the semi drivers.
They do 1000's of times the damage to roads as compared to a car or even an SUV; yet they only pay a small premium on the fuel they use.
Perhaps if we made the road tax more realistic we could get trains back in the game for cross country and only critical shipments (in the true sense) to go cross country by semi. Semis afterall were only meant for quick expensive transport or local transport from the dock, not primary.
The idea that we need everything immediately and nothing can wait when 40% of working age adults are out of work and our country is hurting for fuel is laughably rediculous. Let things take the time they should take and reap the benefit of 1/10 the fuel usage.
That said the volt like most alternative fuel vehicles is excempt from electric road tax with the exception of a couple odd states but it likely hits a loophole because it burns gas once and while.
