are you claiming that, in the USA, the only source of funds to pay for
roads is
the tax on gas? In MA we have this excise tax which I thought paid for
part
of the road infrastructure.

In many states the fuel taxes and property taxes on vehicles all goes into
the General Fund. Some of it comes back into the highway fund, but often,
not even half.
