I would support a 4 cent gas tax increase, but only if 100% went directly to road improvements. Heck, raising the gas price 4 cents doesn't even make people think twice these days.
This is from guy who buys 30 gallons of gas a week. A 4 cent increase would cost me an extra $1.20/week.

Your absolutely right it doesn't sound like much out of each pocket, but it won't stop there.
Now imagine if each money spending politicians could save those nickels, dimes, and dollars how it could add up that way.
When people work with huge million dollar projects, budgets and such a few thousands here and there, over and over, are drops in the bucket, especially when it's not there money to worry about.
