Pennsylvania is the same - there is a $0.58 tax on a gallon of gas ($0.75 on diesel) that is used to fund the majority of the costs related to road maintenance. Wikipedia tells me that is the highest fuel tax rate in the country - the roads must be incredibly expensive to maintain in this state because they are generally in significantly worse shape than the roads in neighboring states.

Yeah, every state is spending on roads. I was talking about the additional ~1500 entities in Michigan that also have road budgets. It's only really the 83 counties that are building larger roads though.

Pennsylvania does have a large number of miles of road.

However Pennsylvania has a large amount of corruption in the state government also...

In Germany, total taxation on gasoline is around 0.85 € per liter (3.2 € per "gallon"); less for diesel.
