That's how it should be. Question, though: is there a relationship between the gas tax and the highway fund, or is it just another way for Kentucky to raise revenues for the general fund?

Taxes on tires will do the same thing.

Any feel for what you’ve paid in state fuel taxes over the past twelve months?

Don't hold me to this, but I think Indiana implemented a higher excise tax on certain high mileage models (think Prius) several years ago.

$2 per tire

Indiana has a small tire tax as well, but it's earmarked for waste disposal. Pretty sure IDEM gets the money.

28.7 cents per gallon

So, assuming “average” usage and mileage, maybe $100-$125 for the year?

I was told there would be no math.

Show your work.

$125/.287 = 435 gallons/52 weeks = 8.375 gallons per week.

$125/.287 = 435/gallons = 8.375 gallons per week.

Yeah, with your hot rod that’s about 160 miles per week.
