As to the proposed but short lived tax based on mileage; the GPS unit in the car would communicate with the pump and the appropriate tax applied. Removing the GPS would result in a higher "penalty" tax. This fact is lost on the yahoos that think they can outsmart the g'ment by removing the GPS/tax unit.
All this has been quite entertaining.

It wouldn't take long for the black market to bring out a scanner that would reset the rfid to what ever you wanted it set to, mileage wise. Just scan it before you fill up, and BINGO!!! Lower taxes
