I'm against cutting taxes on fuel.
It pains me to pay it, of course, but I know that it is going to rebuilding the roads and bridges that I am using when I drive, so it is, in my world view, a reasonable user tax.
Yes, it is a reasonable and necessary user fee. As such, it should not go into the general fund, but be placed in a separate trust account, to be used for the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure only.
Of course, the government isn't much into trust accounts, but does like the general fund, which has become much like a black hole, sucking in everything that comes close, and not letting anything escape.
