The Tax Commission knows which cars are registered in the state and which are not and could tie that to the credit card used at the pump. If its out of state, then a gas tax could apply. Of course, cash transactions wouldn't be easy to capture. It is an interesting mental exercise to work through the scenarios. I am sure whatever solution is arrived at next session, it will probably not be too dramatic.
