You absolutely pay for roads on a usage basis [1] unless you drive an electric car.

That's not paying for roads, that's paying for fuel. You would be paying those fuel taxes even if you were only driving on your own private roads.
The gas tax hasn’t covered the cost of road maintenance since the 80s.
