Should go with Gordon Murray's proposed momentum limit (instead of speed limit). The heavier you are, the lower your speed limit.

They shouldn't, because the toll roads are not the property/responsibility of the state.

Which is why simple odometers won't work. You need an in-car transponder to tell them where you drove those miles. Though the accuracy of common lightweight GPS devices is not very good, so you might be taxed for driving on the highway next to your plot of land every time you move the car around the garage.

Privacy concerns are easily covered by having the system only report distances driven on national roads and not which specific roads they were driven on.
