Fuel prices around the world.

$2.59- $2.79 regular in College Station depending where you get it.

It won't be long before some states start charging taxes on electric vehicles to recoup monies lost.

They've been talking about that for a while now. One "solution" was to put a GPS in every vehicle so that they can keep track of where how much you drive. That must have gone over like the proverbial faht in church, because I can't find anything about it now.
I do feel though, that people who use the roads should pay their fair share.

We pay a $50 excise fee for our hybrid and Indiana charges $150 excise fee of $150 for electric vehicles. They've been doing that since 2017.

A college coach once told me —- “fair is a place where they give ribbons to pigs”.

They should go by mileage. Simple. Every year for your annual tag or inspection, just have the tax assessor read your mileage and charge you accordingly.

Here in Texas, we pay $0.49 per gallon tax. So if you have a cybertruck, you would figure a comparable truck to get 15/19 mpg and charge accordingly.

If you drove it 10,000 miles in a year, then (10000/17mpg)* .49 = $288 tax

Many people live near a state border, and drive varying amounts in two or more states.

I just took delivery on a 2021 F150, I have no concerns at all.

Well, you are the ”solitary man”.
Lots of others do though, running vehicles and equipment that consumes fuel which is up 50-60%.

When I was travelling, I would make it a point over several trips to get gas in each state I went through. That's at least part of the funding they use to pay for the roads which I was using.

I drive a lot in Missouri and Southern Illinois.

Missouri gas tax is $.17/gallon. Illinois gas tax is $.392/gallon. Illinois is the third highest gas tax in the country.

MO gas is $2.80. Illinois gas is $3.15.

I never buy gas in Illinois. Never as in never ever.

I wish it worked that way.

I drive between CA and NV a lot. CA collects taxes for road maintenance but diverts some of what was collected for other things. On almost any highway in/out of CA, you can tell when you left the State because the road improves.
