that's bullshit, as the article mentioned, there are already Federal (and State) taxes for gas, so they're already doing that.
Again, this is just our government's inability to balance their budget effectively & make proper adjustments for poor economic times.

But, if they had to this, simply upping the gas taxes would be the most effective.
All this non-sense about installing gov't monitored GPS devices is just another unnecessary expense & inconvenience that tax-payers will ultimately get shafted with.

I like the Republican's idea though.
Just spend less on roads, or at least find a more cost-effective way to maintain it.
At the very least, the reduction in road work won't clog up as much traffic.
