The majority of vehicles in my area are trucks and SUVs anyway, so if they dropped the gas tax and went with mileage tax, the people with low gas mileage would pay effectively less tax, therefore possibly defeating the purpose.
Besides, we need more insentive for people to buy CARS instead of huge trucks and SUVs that they're not using for any reason other than trying to be cool and wasting gas.
I'm tired of having some jackass in an SUV driving 2 inches from my back bumper just because he can see over the top of my car.
