Not SOME - MOST won’t have income adjusted for that inflation factor.
Keep the tax on diesel since trucks do much of the damage to roads. At least anything to do with sunken down asphalt. The cracking on residential streets is probably more to do with age, but I’m not an expert.

Disposal of waste products, again where I live, we are spending nearly $50million/year to cleanup existing environmental destruction/polution. We have a few, very few, cattle, last substantial cattle land was sold off to creat new suburbs and apartment complexes with accompanying strip malls and home centers, all served by diesel trucks. I don’t even now if there is a rail yard within 200 miles, but our trains are diesel.
