"Isn't the point of a fuel tax to pay for road repairs" Depends on the country. In the UK it just goes into the big tax pot. That obviously doesn't stop various groups claiming they pay for the roads. Comments normally aimed at cyclists. And in the UK, tractors are exempt from (may be just a reduced level?) fuel duty, they can still use the road though.
