Fear not, the government will tax it more now because the price is low and everybody needs it.

You're right.........WA state has just passed a major increase in the gas tax.

That's what they do. And we still won't get new roads.

Actually, in WA state it will lead to improvements in roads and other transportation issues:

Lawmakers release $16 billion transportation plan with 11.9-cent gas tax

New spending highlights of the state plan include:

*The finish of the Highway 520 replacement, from Lake Washington to Interstate 5, $1.6 billion;

*The North Spokane Corridor, $879 million to finish a half-built freeway so that it reaches to I-90;

*The Puget Sound Gateway Project, $1.9 billion to build a 6-mile extension of Highway 167 from Puyallup to the Port of Tacoma, and to extend Highway 509 from SeaTac to I-5.I-405 from Renton to Bellevue,

*$1.2 billion to widen the clogged corridor.Interstate 90’s Snoqualmie Pass East project, receiving $426 million to finish the six-lane corridor from Lake Keechelus to Easton to provide better safety, lane space and animal crossings.

*Joint Base Lewis-McChord, $494 million for additional I-5 lanes and improved junctions in a chronically congested area.
