Tolls should then dissapear and the funding for road improvements can be targeted accurately based on usage data.
I don't think it needs to account for fuel efficiency if its a usage fee purely dedicated to maintaining infrastructure.
But I do think fuel efficiency should be encouraged through incentives. So you could keep the gas tax as a way to provide those incentives (or disincentives).
