[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MichaelSol Passenger vehicles, which account for 93 percent of total highway travel, pay 64 percent of total Federal highway user fees. Combination trucks, on the other hand, pay over 25 percent of total highway user fees even though they travel less than 5 percent of total mileage. Among the truck classes, user fees vary substantially by vehicle weight. Single unit trucks registered at 50,000 pounds or more pay 2.5 times as much per mile in Federal user fees as single unit trucks registered at 25,000 pounds or less. [/quote] Using this, is it safe to say that there are 9 passenger vehicles for every combination truck? If so, give those 9 autos an average weight of 3087lbs each, and the combination vehicle an average 70,000lbs. That single combination vehicle is still two and a half times the weight of those nine automobiles. BTW, while I did find the average automobile weight, I could not find the average combination vehicle weight.
