What do all you CA drivers think of this plan?

^That is the problem, as folks have switched to more fuel efficient vehicles, the amount of the gas tax has gone down... and the government doesn't like it...

The new system actually shifts taxes away from the gas guzzlers such as SUV's, and places more of the burden on the fuel efficient cars, including the hybrids and electric cars, since you will be paying per mile, instead of per tank.

It is stupid, what government needs to do is actually spend the money collected on the gas tax on transportation, instead of switching it to the general fund to pay for other government programs.

Gas Tax, DMV registration and license fees should go straight to the Transportation budget (and pay for the DMV). Let the state and local governments take the regular sales tax charged on gasoline for the general budget.

If this happened, we would NOT need this silly new proposal....
