[social] how about a gas price . . . .

[web at work]

In my area of NY, the gas price is $0.20+ higher than
the national average.

I remember when gas went from $.95 to $1.02
and I was upset then, now $4+ for the low grade
gas and $4.50+ for diesel.


Have a rip roaring discussion about that.

There was an article that suggested to make a
new usage tax that would add $0.50 to $1.50
more per gallon.  He stated that if that was done
we would conserve more and then the price
would go back down below what the price was
before the added tax.  At that point the tax would
be reduced.  Then increased as demand goes up.

Stupid, but proposed and people are listening.
