A gasoline tax is a tax of so many pennies on every gallon of gasoline. It had the original purpose of providing money for roads. It was based on the theory that the people that used the roads should pay for them. They would pay for them by paying a tax on each gallon of gasoline purchased. That money would go into a fund that would pay for machinery, supplies, land, labor, and whatever else was needed to build roads. After that original purpose, legislatures and other units of government frequently added taxes onto gasoline for other purposes.
