Federal gas tax hasn't gone up since 1993 and currently pays for only 2/3 of road costs. So it's definitely undertaxed given its stated purpose.

MA tax has barely gone up in the same period, and our infrastructure (which it pays for) isn't exactly shining.

And a higher tax is the most effective way of slowing down fossil fuel use, so unless you're a global warming denier that's a good thing too.
