Please address my other points about tolls being better than gas taxes. Teslas pay no gas taxes, yet drive the roads all the same. Higher MPG cars pay less and less tax at the pump, but are still wearing down roads. Taxing at the pump is not an effective method for taxing usage.
The Houston/Pittsburgh example was just a hypothetical. Pittsburgh was on 60 Minutes recently as an example for why we need to raise the federal gas tax. I don't want them to pay for my roads any more than I want to pay for their's. Eliminate the gas taxes and let the market find a way to repair...
The answer is toll roads.
Things wrong with gas taxes:
1) MPG is constantly getting better. Revenue from gas tax will fall over time and you'll have to tax elsewhere.
2) Drivers of electric cars are allowed to drive on the roads but essentially pay next to nothing for their upkeep.
