12. That (will be) the NZ system
If the fuel isn't taxed at the pump - which includes electric and diesel here - you pay a 'road user charge' to cover what you use. It's currently about NZ4c per km, or US5c per mile: You can buy blocks of 1000km at the post office and some gas stations.

Checking the RUC against the odometer happens at services, or when you sell the car (or if you've drawn the attention of the police), but when you pay is pretty flexible... RUCs for electric vehicles are on hold until 2013, iirc.
