I have seen quite a few people quote a figure of between $4.00 and $7.00 per
gallon that motor fuel would cost if all of the money from the general tax
funds (Municipal through Federal) used to pay for the infrastructure necessary
for automobiles, trucks, and so on, were instead derived from taxes on motor
fuel.  I have never seen anyone quote a source for such a figure.

Does anybody have any (hardcopy) references for this?  Where can I find these
figures and find out in some detail how they were calculated?

If anyone has a definitive bibliography, please post it to the newsgroup.
 If you only have a vague idea of where I could look please use E-Mail...
