I understand the logic of the tax on gas to pay for roads

But even that doesn’t really hold up. Gas tax depending on state, generally covers less than half of road maintenance and is already unfair because of hybrids and other efficient vehicles.

And the bulk of the damage is probably from big trucks anyway
