First into Bondage! Oregon leads the way! We have never seen a tax we didn't like! A holes.
I drive 1736 miles a month to work, @ 38 mpg I spend $13.70 a month. Were I stupid enough to do this rip off, (at the low, low price of 1.5cents per rutted, potholed mile next to beautiful bike lanes built with gas tax money) I would "give" or "donate" to the State of ineptitude 26.04. Only a 100% tax increase? I get a high mileage car because I do not want to cdonate to gas price manipulating oil companies, so now I get to give Oregon the equivelant of 60 cents a gallon in Road Tax because I don't "waste" enough gas for them? But now I can pay an additional 30 cents a gallon for eco friendly fuel that some Dumbocrap thought I "needed" to use so we could "support the alternate fuel industry" that gave so frickin much to them the last election they stole? DO NOT, DO NOT allow your state to go down this road, unless you own a 5 gallon a mile PU or something.

    Well you are well and truley screwed unless you want to fly to work. Wa is a much a Communist state now and Oregon still makes you pay their income tax even if you live out of state. Don't know too much about Idaho, but you can see how long the commute would be. The illustrative part of this is they are both ruled by Dumbocraps, and they both can't find "enough" money to get a roll of toilet paper to wipe their as@, and they both have scandal after scandal involving corruption and vow to get to the bottom of it...all modeled after the successful takeover in WA DC.....

    I am sooooo tired of paying for Portland bike paths/lanes and then being told how they have no money and need to come up with more. A billion her for light rail for 20K people, a billion here for some pretty bike lanes so a yuppie liberal can go to work 3/4 mile from his apartment....crap...

    It will not effect out of staters. And there is some discussion of how they could make it mandatory. Only a complete idiot will givew these damn grubbing money hogs 100% more in taxes, so the debate is "can they force you to do it?". In other forums consensus is maybe they will equip cars in OR withsome reporting device and make it required to license them. Who can know the mind of God, or a dumbass democrap. TRY CUTTING YOUR DAMN BUDGET MORONS, AND QUIT GIVING 200K CONTRACTS TO THE GOVENORS GIRLFRIEND AND THEN CROWING TO EVERYONE HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT AND THEN DROP THE WHOLE THING. John Kitzrobber is out own Pelosi. Ever since he "resigned" you have not heard a word and he committed several felonies and no one will ever prosecute.

    Just out of curiosity...how will this affect drivers who are just passing through? Truckers? Tourists? Will they have someone at the state line with a fist full of invoices?

    *Note to self: Stay the hell out of Oregon.

    Hello nickursis,
    Stop holding back, tell us how you really feel. Lol.

    You are a cash cow and apparently you were trying to get out of it with that high fuel mileage car. You have been caught, now get back in the pasture. One way or another they will get your "fair share".

    Thank you sir. My sentiments. Of course, if you are a Dumb As@ liberral and sign up to be able to give the corrupt state more money to blow on Governors girlfriends contracts and stuff, just so you can have an unelected governor for 3.5 years, you don't care! Quit burdening me with crap Oregon and just let the liberals send you checks to waste. The "promise" to send you a check for the gas tax money, but you know how government and promises are. Yes, I bet you they make this mandatory, and you will have to pay both, and then they will say why they can't send the gas tax back because they really need a new bike path through the sewage treatment plant in Oshi@@ty Falls or something. They are already going to rob us blind here because the morons sold out (Democraps of course) to the "eco" fuel lobby, so we will also pay 30 cents more a gallon for gas we can't use in cars or lawnmowers etc. Morons, morons, morons,morons.....politicians..morons...

    OK, let me see if I've got this...roughly seven tenth of one percent of the cars on America's roads are electric or hybrid. This of course is enough to cause a panic because gas tax revenues "might" drop. Therefor, we absolutely need to add a per mile tax! Of course, this will merely be a supplement to the already exorbitant fuel taxes and surcharges that we already pay. And let's not forget that when this huge surge of electric cars hits the road there will be a spike in energy usage, so naturally we'll have to raise taxes to subsidize the power generation industry.

    Bah!
