Gasoline tax would just increase transportation cost and would effectively trickle down to higher prices on everything. Double whammy if there ever was one.
Higher taxes are just an easy way out for inefficient governments. They get to pay the bills, but nothing is actually getting fixed. Once they run out of the newest tax increase they will invent others. Rinse and repeat.
