If you don't want to pay for maintaining Virginia's roads, don't drive. Highway construction and maintenance budgets are horribly underfunded in Virginia. The extra few cents per gallon would be a drop in the bucket of what is needed, but as you say small is better than nothing.
The real crime isn't that the gas tax is going up. Rather it is that badly highway construction and maintenance funds are being diverted to other projects such as bike lanes.
