Lowering the taxes will just increase the demand of gasoline... hey gas prices are now 30 cents lower per gallon... now we can drive more for less money! Demand will increase and because our refinerys cannot increase the supply the prices will shoot right back up, but instead of the government getting some of the money it'll all be going to the oil companies that own the gas stations. High gas prices is what is keeping the demand in a somewhat reasonable limit right now... yeah it sucks, but we all have to pay some of the burden of the 8 years of socialist energy policy that we've had.
