>How else would you propose to pay for CalTrans? IMO gas taxes make the most sense to pay for highways and their maintenence.
That would make sense if it was being done. Unfortunately, the taxes no longer are set aside for highway and transportation projects. The tax revenues go into the general fund and are used on other items, like reducing the budget deficit.
If you're interested at all in California tax info I suggest reading the California Taxpayers' Association website.

>The current high gas prices aren't caused by taxes, they are caused by greed.
The high gas prices are caused by demand outpacing supply.
