Oregon did add a graduated scale to their 2 year registration fee

$122 for vehicles rated 0-19 mpg
$132 for vehicles rated 20-29 mpg
$152 for vehicles rated 40 or more.

HOWEVER, that isn't the only option. People that enroll in OReGO* only pay $86 registration. The $86 registration fee is Oregon's carrot to get people to volunteer sign up for OReGO.

*OReGO is Oregon's fee per mile program that charges $0.017 per mile instead of gasoline taxes. I've been enrolled since it was a limited pilot program.
