This is why we will never wean ourselves off of oil. States tax anywhere from .30 to .60 cents a gallon, I am not sure what the Fed taxes on top of the states taxes. The states can not afford to lose that revenue source, so any talk other than adding more corn ethanol is all just bluster. Oil is here to stay.
Second note, when bitching about gas prices realize how much it is taxed, your government is partly responsible for the high gas prices. Also look at the states with the highest, Mass and CA two places with tons of taxes and CA is damn near broke. Just goes to show raising taxes does not always equate to a better government.
