You never pay tolls or gas taxes.

If you’re paying a toll, you’re paying both.

Your comment that you only pay gas taxes or tolls was not accurate.

Do you exclusively use toll roads?

You’re right. However, they’re both use taxes so user pays the sum of the two to get to the aggregate. I don’t know how user cost in Texas compares with the rest of the country. I do know, having traveled in the north east some on business that toll roads are extortion up there, most specifically New Jersey and Massachusetts (especially Boston). Just a side note all toll roads in Texas have service roads along side. So, it’s possible to get where you want to go by using the service roads; slow but still possible. Personally, I’m ok with toll roads as they’re built much faster than public roads. And, being Texas is growing so fast we can’t wait around forever for government contractors to screw around.
