I would strongly support a variable gas tax that would stabilize gas prices.
Aka the tax becomes higher when crude goes under a certain price threshold and lowers when crude is more expensive.
Charge it at the supplier level so it can be reactive and hold a price floor, eliminate it entirely when prices jump.

During windfall times roads could be fixed and bs pet projects funded, during hi fuel seasons the tax would lower reducing the surge and road budgets would be reduced.

Unstable road funding should force a nimble reactive workforce.
