And used Florida cars are not highly desirable up here due to their lack

Harry lies and you swear to it. ;-)
What percentage of federal and state road taxes collected are used to
repair and improve the road system in your state, as compared to Florida.

Beats me. I thought we were discussing what area has more bridge and
overpass corrosion due to their relative climates ... Florida or the
Northeast.

If you are looking for how gasoline taxes and tolls contribute to a
state's spending on road systems, here's a chart. As the article
states, it's only about a third of the total amount spent. The rest
comes from other revenue sources.

I think you have to also consider the size of the states, miles of roads
and number of bridges and users. The chart isn't a relative comparison
of who spends the most or least per capita.
