ST. LOUIS, MO — Missouri is considering changing how much people pay to renew their license plates.
Our news partners at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that one plan being considered would make owners of fuel-efficient vehicles pay higher vehicle registration fees than those who own gas guzzlers.
The director of MoDOT says that while improved fuel economy is better for the environment and a consumer’s wallet it takes away from the gasoline tax which is used to raise funds for road maintenance and construction.
