"Enjoy the inevitable lines at the pump. Or perhaps just enjoy the $5 and up gas." When will that be 'inevitable', Peter? A two dollar per gallon tax would get that price right up there. It would be a 1000% increase and rational people expect it to be implemented by the democrats in control. If you think Obama isn't going to slam you in your wallet you are crazy. Add $1.82 to whatever you were paying, then add roughly 20% for the additional costs of the new pricing as it passes through the system. That works out to us paying roughly $2.20 more than whatever the price as been. On the low side it would be unreasonable to expect Pelosi-Obama to do less than double the current gas tax.
