Cars and trucks generally pay their road taxes through the gas pump鈥� those taxes are added to the price of a gallon of gasoline.
But hybrids and straight electrics use as much pavement, but much less (or no) gasoline. Which is why the Oregon Legislature will allow to pay up to a penny and a half per mile traveled. We should stress here... the program is VOLUNTARY, and not intended to take effect until the middle of 2015. We get the lowdown on the mileage-charge program.
