Stop and think about the statement/article you quoted.<p>Figure a 10 mile stretch of road is built.<p>A suburban householder drives the length of it when commuting in a 30 mpg (most cars get less mpg) car, 200 times a year at a minimum (this doesn't even include trips to grocery store, spouse's car, etc.).<p>Yearly, 2000 miles traveled, about 70 gallons of fuel used by the 30mpg car, means $14.00 in fuel taxes (TX gets 20 cents/gallon in taxes), or, $1.40 per mile; each year.  Definitely a far cry from the "2-3 cents" quoted in the article.<p>Is my math off?
