PA gas tax increase

Seen that on the news last night, lovely. Gas is already 10-15 cents higher in my remote mountain town.
 
We pay all these taxes for road repair and they still have potholes etc. Highest gas taxes in the nation and some of the worst roads !
 
that sucks
I remember when I bought my SRT back in 2008, then we had $4+/gallon prices for what seemed like all of 2009
 
When I make a trip to PA from NY I SAVE some money, your gas is usually .15-.20 less than ours at home. PA is not even close to the highest taxed, CA is most likely #1 and it sounds like CT may be #2 and then probably NY. Dunno about Alaska though.
 
I read Pa had the highest, maybe after this increase, did a search..

** I just noticed this is from Feb. 2016

I know mass its.4871 cents on diesel fuel, I see it every day in the price sheet I get from our delivery company. was .45 last year went up a little this year. I think the tied it to inflation so know it automatically goes up every year. But like someone already said at least the roads are getting repaired, oh wait no they are not they are wasting it on something else instead. And then people wonder why we have such deep distrust of the government, because they constantly lie to us. Every time the speak its just lies lies lies.
 
Michigan goes to 7.3 a gallon. Suppose to be used for roads?? Right now snow and ice fills potholes and smooths out roads.
