Makes one wonder where all the money goes ?
Like most taxes, it goes into the general fund. Then dived out how those in charge please.Several years ago, the voters here voted in a new tax to get more pay, and fix the buildings, and it all has to go to the schools. To everyone's surprise (Not), the county just reduced the amount of funding that comes from them.
Actually that is exactly what the gas tax is, the more mileage you put on the more gas you burn, The heavier your vehicle the more gas you burn, the more polution you make the more gas you burn, the more gas you burn the more tax you pay. BUt electric was still free of helping to pay for the roads they use, until now.
Too bad it does not work that way.
These big RV's built off a bus chassis, and the big tour buses are allowed a higher weight on each wheel, making them the worst destroyers of the roads. Up to 65,000 lbs, on 8 to 10 wheels. They get 8 to 10 MPGs.
Tractor trailers get 6 to 12 MPGs, and can range up to 80,000 lbs, on 18 wheels. (staying away from the many special circumstances, and over weight permit loads).
My Chrysler Pacifica, weighs 4330 lbs, and can be loaded up to 6055 lbs, and gets 28MPG's.
my 77 Pickup, weighs about 4800 Lbs, and can go up to 6100lbs, while struggling to make 8 to 10 MPG's.
My sisters 2018 F150, weighs 4590 Lbs, and can load up to 6360Lbs, and is averaging 27 MPG's.
While it is the best, and simplest way to attempt to assign cost to what causes the most wear, it is far from perfect.
