Gas Prices - David & Wes talk about high gas prices and whether the changes they prompt will stick. Some people try transit or bicycling. Others start shopping for an EV or a hybrid. But what happens when gas gets cheaper again? The conversation then turns to the shrinking value of fuel taxes as well as a question that many people think they already know the answer to: who pays for our roads? Sure drivers contribute through gas taxes, tolls, and fees, but that doesn't come close to covering the bill...

Topics include: 🔹 David's trip to London 🔹 Gas tax holidays & if they help the cause 🔹 Oregon’s pay-per-mile program & whether road usage charges are a better way forward 🔹 The future of the federal gas tax 🔹 The myth that drivers pay for roads
