The United States' Interstate highway system (in my opinion) has been so highly subsidized that I'm completely uncertain as to whether its maintenance is sustainable in the long run. Making a 40 cent tax will just cause people to drive less, or choose a more fuel efficient car. Both of those outcomes are good for fuel consumption, but they do nothing for the sole purpose of maintaining roads that need maintenance whether 10,000 Geo Metros or 10,000 Lincoln Town Cars use it.

I believe certain provinces in Canada will come up with the same financial problem.
