I pretty much agree that we need high gas taxes. This would make people drive less or more efficient cars. Alternatively (which is done to some extent), put a high tax on the gas guzzlers. I see this argument all the time and I just don't get it .. Transportation fuel demand is pretty inelastic .. Why must we put the burden on the consumer ??? I don't build my own vehicles nor does anyone else that I'm aware of .. I never asked Detroit to produce/sell inefficient gas guzzling trucks disguised as SUVs .. If you want to punish someone .. punish the manufacturers Raise the CAFE standards .. provide an incentive to consumers to upgrade to more efficient transport .. Stop filling the SPR .. EVs anyone ?? The free market will set the appropriate price for the fuels and subsequent demand destruction naturally .. Triff ..
