Oh, but it is a wonderful tax income. Around here, only a fraction (about 1/8) of car-related taxes are spent on maintaining the roads.

Then there's something wrong with the tax allocation.

Herearound fuel taxes are earmarked for roads and potentially public transport projects. It can't be siphoned off into the general revenue bucket.
