I don't qualify for a gasoline tax exemption for my usage. Edit: For more clarification, gasoline is not taxed in my state based on usage but on sales (though the distinction may not be significant in this case). If mileage is taxed based on usage, it seems reasonable (though perhaps not feasible) to tax it only based on usage of roads the government controls. There is also a number of people (though very unlikely to be a high portion of the population) who have registered vehicles that are rarely used on public roads. You might see this with street legal race cars or street legal off road vehicles, both of which may be mostly trailered except in rare cases. I certainly have no issue paying for what I use, but it can get burdensome when I'm penalized by the governemnt for not using government products or services.
