They could just have you report odometer readings when you register it annually. We could even see a smog style car safety inspection to ensure that the numbers match up every few years. If all else fails an odometer reading when selling and the seller owes the taxes on those miles. No system is fool proof, but that would be a lot easier and cheaper than trying to somehow record every mile driven.

Plenty of major cities are on the border with other states with commuters going back and forth. Oregon tested GPS trackers as a way to track where those miles are driven and tax people accordingly (you could get a rebate on your tax paid at the pump). Understandably, people balked at having their driving tracked so closely and it never got out of the testing phase. Now, with pretty much every new car having a tracker installed by the manufacturer, some state will surely try again.
