really, cars by manufacturers vary. for example i have a cheap car but it has sports car handling because back then all mazdas had that kind of handling. now im sure theres a mazda with average handling.

Utah roads are maintained using taxes from gasoline sales. As vehicles become more fuel efficient and the number of electric vehicles grows, the Utah Department of Transportation and Division of Motor Vehicles is changing to a per-mile fee as a way for drivers to pay their portion of roadway operations and maintenance…
You will pay [one cent] per mile, deducted from the prepaid wallet, up to the amount of the flat fee. Enrolling in Utah’s Road Usage Charge program gives you access to DriveSync® for Utah DOT, an app that makes your driving safer and more productive through trip tracking and driving reports.
ODOT created a website and program called OReGO where drivers can sign up to volunteer for a program where they pay a fee for every mile they drive on public roads. Currently it’s just under 2 cents per mile.
The program isn’t gaining much traction. About 700 people have signed up so far, either reporting their mileage to the state or by using GPS devices to track their travel.
Michigan is next.

With electric vehicles on the rise, the Michigan Department of Transportation is exploring new options to replace the gas tax.
One potential avenue is a road usage charge system, which would require residents to place a GPS tracker in their vehicle to keep track of their mileage

average joes are buying used cars now since car prices are inflated bc of manufacturer greed and god knows what else
No Ricky, unionized auto plants want good pay and benefits so they have to charge more to cover those costs. There's also a shortage of needed parts due to supply chain disruptions. This makes used cars in good shape more valuable. And people are taking advantage of this, jacking up their used car prices as well as dealer markups for new cars.

the governments waste all this money creating apps to tax average joes more instead of simply taxing the rich
but the rich are taxed already.
They own/run companies that employ people who are paid a wage.
The gov't & states take out funds for payroll taxes, SS, disability insurance, unemployment insurance, business taxes, and real estate/property taxes. Then there are the Capital Gain Taxes, if they are well managed enough to actually make some profits.
