And, if we're buying less gas, the price of gas is going to go up again, hurting the economy even more.I'm curious what thought process leads one to believe that reducing US demand will result in higher prices. Reduced demand should lead to asmaller number of consumers willing to pay a premium, which should lead to lower prices. I mean it's not like demand is going to drop so sharplythat gas becomes a luxury item.
Sorry, I didn't phrase that well. I meant that the government is sure to increase the gas tax. They will have to pay to maintain the roads somehow. A use tax would be great, but I can't think of a fair and non- evasive way to execute it. If it comes down to implementing a tracking beacon in my car, I'll opt out for a horse.
