It goes into a trust fund for the roads.    PA and IL scored big the last time it paid out.

road tax- tho- comes from tires, tags. tolls, property taxes, surcharges,  sales tax, and income taxes.  You could add in excise tax.

Consider tho- that when they build a road in Germany it lasts-  but not here-  every 4 years=- they have to redo them here.  When they could build them to last- in the first place.

The whole energy question is muddied by the repression of nickily tessla.   Standard oil- GM- killed street cars, and the electric car- as well as mass transit.    Even in the past 20 years- trains dismantled- rails to trails scam-  when other countries are building high speed rail. 

So if your driving an electric car what are you not contributing to?

It really is that simple Hunkie.  You want the roads maintained and built?  If your not buying gas then it becomes on the vehicle.
