Why dont they just use the entire tax collected instead of increasing the taxes on gas.
"The head of the U.S. Dept. of Transportation stated on 15 August 2007 that about 60% of federal gas taxes are used for highway and bridge construction. The remaining 40% goes to other, unrelated uses.[6] However, revenues from other taxes is also used in federal transportation programs." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tax#United_States_of_America
