IIRC, the state of Texas only uses approx. 50% of the fuel taxes actually on the roads. Some of the other 50% I believe goes to education, you know, the chilrun. Don’t know what the other goes for and do not know how much of our federal fuel tax monies are stolem from us, but I read sometime back that a significant percentage is probably used once again for the chilrun.

I don’t think all states get all their federal gasoline tax money back either. Isn’t it allocated on some other basis besides amount paid in?
