Reducing the gas tax clearly wouldn't decrease the deficit.

Increasing it might, if it isn't spent on roads (or might do so temporarily if there is a delay in spending the money in the fund).

Decreasing spending on roads, while keeping the gas tax steady, would also decrease the deficit (at least temporarily, but if you have to spend more later to make up for the current slowdown, you will just get the deficits later).
