They already do this in most states/countries, it is called Gas Tax, the
more Gas you use the more miles you drive.
Works great! Even gives incentives to drive more fuel efficient cars, and is
hard to cheat on your tax.
Just my 2 cents

The governor of Oregon has recently floated one idea of basing the
fees upon vehicle mileage for each year. Generally speaking, I
vehemently disagree with most of what spews forth from Kitzhaber's
mouth, but I have to admit that this idea has some merit, since the
more miles you put on your car, the more you are USING the state's
infrastructure. That seems to make some sense to me. I hope Oregon
never falls into line with the other states' ill-conceived
registration fee structure.
End of rant.
