They should simply place the fee on tires. Then it is a consumable tied to usage rather than trying to match the fee to estimate of mileage.

It kind of makes sense because gasoline taxes help fund road projects. Of course, if you live in a state like Pennsylvania, there's not much evidence of real improvements to the pothole infested roads.
