New fuel-economy standards, which President Trump said he finalized Saturday, would kill a federal effort to speed the transition to electric vehicles.
Electricification is the one thing that could make the price of gas irrelevant for Americans

Are you registering miles per year on roads as well?
Why would someone who drives 10 miles a day past the same massive registration cost as someone who drives 100 or 500 miles per day?
That’s why it’s tied to gas atm. The higher usage the more you pay.
Sorry, I missed the point where registration includes odometer readings. Sure, it’s possible that someone could be driving 10k miles off-road and 100 miles on-road, thereby paying for more than they’re using, but it seems quite niche and less complicated a trade-off (and much less tied to fossil fuels) than gas tax.
You said it should be tied to registration. But it’s tied to gas because that reflects miles/usage and wear better
Did you read anything I wrote about electrification? The moment you add a battery it stops reflecting usage.
How will registration only be fair to those who don’t drive much and still make those who drive constantly/ for work pay more?
