, next year it'll probably be about $750, with it decreasing every year after that.
As regards to fuel, there is a Federal Gasoline Tax (18.4 cents) that is supposed to go towards road maintenance and new projects, plus each state levies their own tax rate, Colorado's is 22 cents. So with regular gasoline right now at $2.49/gallon - 40 cents is just taxes.
