You’re kidding, right? Taxes never go away.

That might not be as far-fetched as you think. Didn't Virginia just eliminate their fuel tax last year and make up for the lost revenue by applying the state sales tax to fuel?

One big flaw with the fuel tax is that revenues decline consistently over time as: (1) vehicles running on something other than gasoline or diesel fuel become more common, and (2) vehicles running on these fossil fuels become more fuel efficient.

A big advantage of tolls is that it puts the cost of the infrastructure on the users. This is always preferred to a tax scheme where a lot of the costs of the infrastructure are paid by everyone.
