How exactly are they going to know how many miles are driven? They going to tax the vehicle/the driver, or both? What next, the planes flying over their "air space" gonna have to pay tax? If so, wonder if they would charge per mile or amount of time spent in their air space. Just little details like that have got me wondering.

I don't know
I'm curious where you heard about this, Cherry, because you obviously didn't get the whole story and have caused a fair bit of confusion.

Slightly off topic: Wasn't there a time when the national speed limit was 55 mph? When gas prices were high, and gasoline was allegedly 'scarce'. 55mph: In order to minimize gasoline usage. I like that idea.

When federal income taxes are lowered then less money is given to the states so then the states give less to the local communities - ultimately the state and local communities have to raise their taxes. In the end the average citizen pays the same amount as they did in the first place. It is just all politics - every politician knows he/she can buy a certain % of votes if they lower taxes.

Here's the whole story, cherry:

This article explains how the whole deal may work and also has a calculator to help compute what you would pay.
I tried it and it was probably about what we pay already with the gas tax in our state in the northeast.

OK, tracking the miles still sounds complicated.
