Maryland lawmakers are considering a new bill that could introduce a highway-use fee for drivers. The bill named HB1457 would require drivers with vehicles achieving a fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon or more to pay a highway-use fee in addition to the existing fuel tax, if passed. This fee would range from $5.83 to $182 annually, based on an average of 11,245 miles driven per year by Maryland motorists.
