Governments will increasingly switch from fuel excise to road use taxes, in most cases removing the excise to help bolster their domestic oil industry.

Road use taxes are dumb. The only reason to have gas tax instead of funding roads the same way we fund the military is to discourage fossil fuel use.

And most governments, including most of the high population US states, don't have any domestic oil industry to speak of.
