In fact, it was the Republican-majority National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing that recommended the 10 cent/ gal increase earlier this year (before Obama took office).
Because they, and every interested observer, recognized that motorists are driving less and buying less gas, which means the taxes that are dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road/bridge repair and transit programs.
