Bob,

You can't feed government with new gasoline taxes and then expect government not to grow.

My thought is that instead of gasoline taxes at the retail level, we should tax imported crude and let the domestic producers do what they do. Imported petroleum by my definition would be any crude imported outside of NAFTA. Mexican and Canadian crude would be exempt.

Agree with you though, price has to go up in order to incentivize conservation and other substitutes.
