Oregon gas tax and minimum wage going up?
My neighbor saw an article about Oregon raising their gas tax by $1.00 per gallon AND raising the state minimum wage to $15.00 per hour! If so, this will really cost RVrs and others big time, no...

Here's another article about the gas tax and one way they are looking at money:

Lots of states are "looking" at the per-mile-tax. So far none have gotten past the "looking" state.
Their theory is between electric and newer high MPG vehicles, there is less tax dollars coming in for fewer miles driven.
Some years back converting vehicles to propane got popular, so a bunch of states brought in special taxes for propane powered vehicles.
Per mile tax
This makes more sense every day!! With hybrids and all electric using the roads at little or no cost is quite unfair.
