Good move. Hopefully other states will follow.

Well, that's a start, but .075 on $6.00 a gallon....

Wonder when Pres. Bush will do the same for the much-higher federal gas tax? That would be much appreciated by everyone in the next 60 days. We could zero out FEMA to offset the cut.
To: Thanatos
This should temporarily help, good call. Maybe the Feds will follow suit.

If he knew anything about economics, he'd realize that suspending the tax on gas will do nothing to actually lower the price. In the aggregate, demand will increase just enough to return the price of gas to its market value. The only difference is that the money that was previously being collected by the state government (to pay for roads, bridges, hurricaine relief, etc.) will now go to the gas companies who are already making staggering record profits.
To: Thanatos
OK Jeb Bush how about doing the same?

Virginia's gas tax is 17.5.
I suggest we start a grass roots campaign to encourage Governor Warner to do the same.
He wants to save the surplus for an emergency.
He's got one.

I expect our 'Rat governor to call for a tax increase to start after the price falls "because the people are used to the high prices anyway".

This is the first time I have been truly impressed with Governor Perdue. Good for him.

The order will remove the 7.5-cents-a-gallon tax and a 4 percent sales tax on gas, the governor said, and was set to begin at midnight. BFD...seriously.

I just found bargain gas at 3.18. I only got 1/2 a tank for $35.00. I might topoff early in the morning.

Now President Bush should do this with the 50 cents on each gallon.

I watched this live on TV and was very impressed with the Governor. I think it's a good move.
To: Thanatos
There is some question if this is good or bad in the sense lower prices=more consumption=not staving off possible hysterical run on gas.
However, the other side of me is happy with this. And once those taxes are removed, I'm not certain it's going to be so easy to place them back.

BAD idea. High prices are needed to prevent shortages.
