Dennis,

we pay a tax on gasoline which goes to maintain the Interstae Highway
system. Gas usage is related to road usage - though how much of the
use is on interstantes and how much on local roads isn't clear cut.

I still think a usage-related charge is preferable to the fully
subsidized free good we have today; there isn't any negative feedback on
use, so we have congestion.
