For me, it's partially because we raised our state gas tax.
While we already had the highest state excise tax on gas, we just upped it seven cents per gallon earlier this month which puts us fourth highest in the country for overall tax per gallon. And we get another 4.9 cents per gallon next year.
I'd be fine with the added gas tax if we didn't piss it away needlessly. Our state DOT is horribly inefficient at building projects, regularly going significantly over budget and making large, costly mistakes.
