It's all a matter of size and money... Germany, for example, is about the size of Montana. Yet it has a population about equal to our 3 most populous states combined (Cali, Texas and Florida). That's a lot more tax inflow for a much smaller place.
Additionally, the use has over 6 million miles of road surface, compared to Germany with less than 650,000 miles worth. In fact, the closest European country in miles of roadway is France at just over a million.
Low taxes; Cheap fuel; good roadways. Pick 2.
