Why a Gasoline Tax
A gasoline tax charges road users by usage. J Jones travels 10 000 miles yearly and pays more than 2 000 mile driver Mr Smith. Truck owner Mr Blake pays more in fuel than neighbor Mr Black with a lighter vehicle. Tourists pay when driving in other states, supporting road upkeep. The tax provides steady income for road work.

Tiger Range Maps Across Asia and Origin Theories
The tiger inhabits the lower Euphrates and Caspian shores but not Persia south of the Kurz mountains nor Beluchi Afghanistan. It occurs northward in southern Siberia and Mongolia and east to Okhotsk and Japan, with the Tibetan plateau absent. Southward it covers China Siam Burma the Malay Peninsula Sumatra Java Bali and all India, but not Ceylon. This suggests tigers are a relatively recent immigrant to the south and not a tropical species.
