Absolutely true.

Question. Obviously heavy trucks cause more damage. Do they use more fuel and hence pay more taxes that go towards the road maintenance?

Point is, up to now, you haven't paid a penny towards it in terms of fuel taxes any more than say someone who runs his car on WVO or homebrew bio.
