pay per kilometre would be fair. 

An accounting nightmare. How would the rate per km be determined? The one determinate would be the mass of the vehicle since the amount of damage a vehicle does to a road surface is dependent on the vehicle's mass. But then, what about money for the upkeep of signalling devices, signage, lane marking etc? 

 

The problem is in determining how the GST revenue is distributed. If yoiu are interested, here's a link to a document about it:
