Additionally, a number of toll roads have repeatedly gone bankrupt, or had the state bail them out rather than raise tolls to cover maintenance costs.
As for GST on cars, that is a sales tax, not a road use fee. If I instead bought a bicycle and then also went to the movies, I'd still pay that same tax, so it in no way contributes to roads. Same for the GST applied to gas. Only the fuel excise tax is a fee in excess of the standard sales tax we already pay.
