I know I would be amused to know how you do it. Of course my mileage sucks right now because it's winter. Went from 27 this summer and am down to 21-24, depending on how much I have to use the defrost. I know I'm not the only one who is having problems with winter consumption. At least gas isn't so high or we'd be spending even more on gas up here in MN, especially with mandatory E10.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Jan 03, 2009 9:18 am) Don't they already with the increased fuel taxes? "...you could do a yearly inspection and just read the odometer..." What? And deprive some politically connected GPS maker of his windfall profits? The trouble with you snake is you think too logically. You'll never make it in politics doing that. |

Replying to: boaz47 (Jan 03, 2009 9:41 am) Great Idea and it would work if either 1.) Politicians didn't care about getting re-elected and therefore didn't try to buy votes, or 2.) The electorate didn't care about getting free stuff from the government. |

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jan 03, 2009 10:04 am) Yes that was my point basically. Current road use tax (in gas taxes) favors those who drive less. The trouble with you snake is you think too logically. You'll never make it in politics doing that. Thats why I am not a politician. |

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jan 03, 2009 10:04 am) I believe GM has put a GPS type recorder in every vehicle they have built since 2003. We discussed that here once. The Oregon mileage charge plan has been put into limited use for a couple years. It seems that it would be easier to just get an Odo reading when you get your license tags each year.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Jan 03, 2009 10:25 am) I was thinking you could post about your Jeep friend. Just hunting for seed posts. The black box stuff isn't connected to satellite stuff I don't think, at least not yet. It more sensor stuff, like the ABS, that retains the most recent actions. So if you have a wreck, you may be able to tell if the brakes were locked in the two or three seconds before impact. More over in the Black Box Data Recording discussion I guess, although that one hasn't been active for a couple of years. |
