Time for a 40c/gallon gas tax?

I saw on TV about a study that 10% of gas is wasted because traffic lights are not coordinated. In my city, I often wait for no cars to pass and then stop 2 blocks later (even if I try to drive slowly).
If this is correct, then one wastes 20 to 30 cents a gallon of gas. That's just traffic lights alone. Why not add another 10-20 cents for smoother roads and more lanes.
Gas is too cheap. If they tax it and waste it on stuff other than roads, that's evil.
The TV story said it would cost a billion $ to fix nationwide. That's only $10 per car. In my estimation, a 10 cent a gallon surcharge for one year would fix that.
