Do Low Gas Prices Signal Big Bucks on the Horizon for GPS Manufacturers?

HardToLove has raised a number of interesting points and I am pleased to see they have been thinking about this topic in detail. The idea of using vehicle inspection records, while generally reasonable misses some important points relating to the VMT. In addition to raw mileage data, governments want to be able to discriminate between highway and non-highway use and time of day. Only GPS can enable this. Also as Don-n-ABQ has mentioned not all states have mandatory inspections in which mileage data would be collected. Furthermore records may not be collected at uniform intervals, state-to-state.
