I agree with Occrider--if they really wanted to implement something like this, why not just take periodic odometer readings??? No need to watch me drive around the country!

Well that would just enourage people to set the odometer back - apparently its very easy thing to do for a mechanic.

The new digital ones are probably impossible compared to the old manual rotary ones.

Sure, but it's no different than our current tax system. People avoid taxes all the time and the IRS can choose to audit them if they think the person is up to shinanigans. If they think people are winding back their odometers, audit their car service histories. Again, no need to monitor where my car is and at what time. Also, what if I lend my car to someone else? Shouldn't they be responsible for the tax since they're putting the miles on? What if the car gets stolen? Am I supposed to be penalized even more because some dick steals my car and drives it 500 miles across the country?

i think the idea is that they want to spy on you because of all the hype and shit with the terrorism kickin about and will just market it off with the positive side like occrider said
