I didn't realize the federal government was supplying gas to the public. I thought that, you know, the companies that discovered, extracted, transported, refined, and again transported fuel products were the ones that took that risk.
A better response would have been:
"In fairness, nearly all gasoline taxes are used to pay for highway improvements, so we are actually getting a decent bang for our buck for THESE tax dollars."
