The use of gas doesn't seem to bear it's proper cost. Road usage, Foreign export, fighting of wars/security, Environment..... Therefore is should be taxed accordingly...

Oil is a depleting resource so the government should be protecting the US economy and getting them off a resource which will dramatically increase in price over the next 20 years. It should prepare the US economy for a life of very high gas prices...

Therefore the tax on gas should be raised. Why should the non users of gas have to pay for those lazy spongers of gas when they could just drive more economical vehicles... Exceptions do apply for various industries who use a specially coloured diesel.

This how it works in Europe...
