I once heard that some gas taxes are rising as more people buy hybrid cars and diesel cars. The argument is that the extra efficient cars burden the road systems just as much as regular cars, but because they use less fuel, the tax revenue collected on fuel doesn't cover the cost of road maintenance.
Is the fuel tax really going to solve their budget problems?
Some other states are debating on how to deal with cars that use less fuel, but create the same burden on the road systems. One suggestion was to have the state tax agency note your odometer reading when you enter and leave a state. I'm not sure if that is going to work.
