44. You can bet good money the states are working on contingency plans to collect road use tax...

People will have to re-think how we fund our road system IF and when we drastically reduce oil/gasoline consumption.

The fact of the mater is, the states have always had mechanisms in place to exact their pound of flesh from "scofflaws" that aren't paying their road tax. Up until now, the mechanism to beat the tax was to use diesel fuel sold for construction vehicles, farm vehicles and other off-road vehicles. As someone mentioned up-thread, don't get caught on the road with the wrong color diesel fuel.
