Additional fuel taxes are typically not a welcome change among the pubic. I agree that logically this is what should be done, but everyone fills up their gas tank every few hours/days/weeks and sees that price. People only buy new cars every once in a while, and they expect a large purchase price. I think psychologically taxing the vehicle and not the fuel is more of a people pleaser.
