You realize states levy taxes on gas too, right? And that those taxes are remitted to city governments to build and maintain infrastructure?
What percentage of the TCO of roads do you think is covered by gas tax?
You are using a state service whenever you use the road. It is a subsidy that people who are the largest offenders consistently choose to entrench.
