>We have the data to track mileage. Odometers are regulated and DMV already records mileage at various checkpoints. Why wouldn’t we use it?

Because it's a regressive tax and you can't even minimize it by driving a small economy car like you can with fuel taxes.

I’m suggesting mileage and mass both be used as factors, so your small economy car would certainly minimize the taxes.
