If it's only 100 miles, yes. I was basically thinking cost-per-mile.

It is still prohibitively expensive, when other costs are factored in. Think of it this way. We pay taxes for roads in the price of gas. For those taxes to equal this, if your car gets 30 MPG, they would have to add $4.50 in taxes to a gallon of gas to match this toll.

That is nuts.

And the current price per gallon [38.5 cents]of taxes we pay won't build new roads at the current rate in Texas [20 cents state and 18.5 cents federal].... so we are stuck with either raising the tax rate, impose some other tax scheme or let some private companies put of the money and recoup their investment via payment from those who choose to ride. Me I like the latter option as opposed to increased taxes. You on the other hand may like to have your taxes raised, your choice.
