As everyone knows, our roads are supported by the gas taxes. Since people are starting to buy smaller, more fuel efficient cars, and manufacturers are even making larger cars more efficiently, There should be an added tax on the small cars that use less gas, since they put more wear and tear on the roads per gallon of gas used and purchased. This would help keep an overall gas tax price increase from happening, and would enable us to keep quality road infrastructure, even though people are running to buy these smaller more fuel efficient vehicles.

IMO, no. Smaller fuel efficient cars are a greater benefit to the environment and, yes, wear roads out less. Governments should swallow that lost revenue (or tax it elsewhere, such as road tolls) to not discourage purchase and use of fuel efficient vehicles.
