Actually, I wouldn't mind increasing fuel taxes. BUT only if they went to road inprovement/maintenance and energy source research. And you can't raise it WAY more, because unlike other places of the world, the US does not have a fantastic public transportation system. OH, some cities do, but outside of those areas, nothing. The way our infrastructure and economies/living arangements are aranged, our society cannot function with out private vehicles.

On the other hand, I would be against raising the tax, because some pol would see it as another trough to feed some pet project.
