If you're in the U.S, afaik you're already paying for the local roads, as gas tax does not fund them.

On top of that, it's probably good if heavy users pay proportionally - it's not a particularly good idea to subsidize road overuse.

Ah, I'm in Canada, where it looks like some portion of the gas tax funds road repair.

Fair enough, that is an excellent point.
