I agree Or, but the pennies per mile in Gas tax that is doubled dipped on the toll roads is inconsequential. I've done the math for my vehicle. My gated neighborhood pays for our own roads. So I'm double dipped there as well eh?

Again, do you exclusively drive on toll roads?

“or” FAIL

I appreciate the note of agreement.

There are people buying gasoline all over the state of Texas every hour of every day. Every single gallon purchased has a gas tax fee added in. Fact is, taxes are added in before the gas even gets to your state.

The federal government taxes oil products along the way from the ground to the refinery too.

I’ll bet you would be astounded at how many millions of dollars in gas taxes are being paid every single day, just in Texas.

Some states add on more gas taxes.

It’s not the cost per mile of your gas tax, it’s the astounding amount of money they already collect from us. As with every other issue, it is simply never enough.

It’s time we starting calling our leaders on it.
