Otoh, per gallon gas prices, in most states, are ~ 50 cts a gallon currently, with some pushing a buck per gallon, of what one pays. And, there are several states less than SC...
Not sure how higher state taxes on gas = less nails in the road.

We pay some of the highest gasoline prices here in sunny California but I can't say that our roads are exactly well maintained. I agree that increasing taxes does not necessarily increase the services and maintenance of our roads. Here in California, all that tax money seems to be going to entitlements.
Maybe we should do everything like Europe.
