Why should he get a "free ride" on the public roads when everyone
else has to pay?  As taxes go, fuel taxes to fund roads and highways
seems pretty fair (assuming that they are set aside as such, I know
that in some (many?) cases fuel taxes just go into the general
fund).  What's the alternative?  Toll booths everywhere?
