Here's an interesting article from our friends at Dallas Business Journal: http://tinyurl.com/pnm75z6
The 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal gas tax, which was last raised in 1993 and has since lost more than 50 percent of its purchasing power, cannot sufficiently fund America’s highway infrastructure. Since 2008, Congress has transferred more than $55 billion from the General Fund to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent. Tolls provide a valuable source of revenue both to build new roads and maintain existing roads.
