A consumption tax is way better than income tax. Stop taxing people who don't use the roads, and start taxing those who do.
Higher fuel consumption usually signifies a bigger, heavier vehicle which degrades the road more and which pollutes more... so take it out of the fuel they use instead of applying some set B.S. "gas guzzler" tax which means very little in terms of actual consumption or use.
EVs that drink off the grid should be similarly taxed.
As it is... what taxes go into roads in the US are apparently insufficient, so it has to come from somewhere. While I disagree in taxing something and putting the money somewhere else, I'm sure most of us would agree that directly applying a higher gas tax to road infrastructure is a good thing.
