That was my thought exactly: are gas taxes nothing more than 'per mile' taxes? Just raise those, gas is already cheaper in California than many places. Of course, it would be nice if that money were to go directly into funding full cover public transport for those who will no longer be able to afford to get to their low-paid job 50 miles away.
