The feds should put a high tax on gasoline, to encourage conservation.

At the same time, tax monies collected from the gas tax should be used to reduce other tax rates.

But we know they'd never reduce a tax.

The feds could start by taking the $300 billion in incomes taxes for roads and turning it into a gas tax.

Of course, the price of gas would go up about $2.00/gallon to over $4/gallon.

But at least the price for auto trasportation would be an honest one.

And alternative fuel sources should be exempted from all fuel taxes.
