Not disagreeing, but if diesel tax is per gallon and cargo trucks have a worse mpg (looks like 7.2 is considered the average?) then they are paying more per mil

- dv_dt 2y agoSo a typical suv might be 5000lbs and a typical loaded semi tractor is 35000 lbs, 7x the weight. So 7^3 = 343. So they pay 2-4x more than an suv but cause 300x more damage. Thats a pay for use imbalance of around 100x
