meh. seems reasonable.
$200 a year isn't reasonable at all.
If you're in an ICE car that gets 30mpg you'd have to drive like 30k miles to equal that $200 in gas tax payments.
They should pay something but it needs to be somewhere more in the $70-$100 range if states are going to do a flat payment.
The best system would be to get an odometer reading every year and charge based on how many miles you went but of course Texas is busy trying to straight up ban yearly safety inspections so we are never going to get the most rational of solutions.
Also, the gas tax in Texas has not changed since the early 90s. It needs to get raised but of course that's pretty much impossible here since nobody is willing to push past political dogma.

im sure it's based on an average of road taxes per year from ICE cars
