OK, water utilities are another parallel.
My water bill is split into a certain fixed amount (paying for infrastructure, I assume) and a certain amount per cubic foot of usage.
The current system for road fees has far, far too low a cost per mile on "usage."
That "usage" part is usually done only by the "gas tax" which hasn't been raised for a long time. Federal gas tax is about half of what it was in the early '90s, in constant dollars.
