From the posted article:

taxing the number of miles driven in different types of vehicles at different rates.
_______________________________________________________________

And

I'd like that up here, seeing as I averaged less than 2,000 km a year for the last 5 years

OUR gas tax is SUPPOSEDLY for funding road repair/construction

If that is the case, I should not be paying that tax for gas used in my lawn-mower and generator, right?

I know there are two kinds of diesel available at the pumps,

dyed(red) diesel is cheaper, and for off-road machinery like skidders, tractors, backhoes etcetera - -

I THINK there is some system up here for farmers with gas equipment to get a rebate/discount for gasoline used for farming purposes

But I have no idea about how that works in the USA
