I have no problem if the tax is repealed followed instantly by turnstiles every "x" miles to collect the road use fees. The amount of gas burned stopping and starting to pay tolls would make the road tax seem like a bargain. Of course we could also incorporate automatic speeder fines and fees.

You know, this might be a nice approach! Instead of gas taxes, convert the highways and interstates into massive parking lots.
