The .gov running this would be rife with abuse. Not just inaccurate billing, but tracking of political enemies whereabouts, charging more for going to places the .gov doesn't want you going (like Burger King or the shooting range), and creating a whole new taxing bureaucracy replete with bloated Federal salaries.
Private companies would be more efficient, have a built in motive for providing pot-hole free roadways, competition, blah-blah-blah...
As it is, our current tax schema has so many holes in it and .gov bloat that it's amazing any roads are maintained at all.
