Road infrastructure IS civic infrastructure. It has to exist, it has to be paid for; and you'll pay for it one way or another. Any tax passed on, even indirectly, to consumers is a REGRESSIVE tax. That is, it more proportionately effects those who have no choice, who must drive, must buy food, and pay a larger percentage of their net worth / yearly gain in net worth to do those things. Fuel taxes all funnel on to the poor the most and the middle-income as well. Who benefits from such infrastructure taxes? The rich. They still have to pay something, but far less than their share of wealth as generated by society as a whole.
