Sounds like a little "back door cash" to keep prices artificially low... then tax working people to make up the revenue shortage? It's SO easy to scam Americans - and they have such short memories!

That's because gas tax doesn't got into "road and bridge fund" it goes into the general fund to pay for things like health care for illegals, dubious art projects and any other pork crap a state politician chooses.
