Considering how the recent LARGE increases in the cost of gas has only caused grumblings and NOT panic, economic crisis or even much inconvenience, I'd say 9 cents is a gallon is small potatoes.

The issue is: Will that revenue actually be spent on roads? Doubtful.

A better solution would be to heavily tax trucks. Took some college logisitics. Almost all road damage is caused by 18 wheelers. Regular cars just don't have the mass to inflict much damage on the road surface. Unfortunately this will never happen as the teamsters are such a powerful lobbying force.
