All that will do is raise consumption, empty the gas stations tanks and worsen the shortage. We simply need more refining capacity -- It's not price. Just wait, the shortages and long lines will follow. Write this down.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! I'm a Perdue fan but this is a dumb move. It will only exacerbate the shortages. Oh, and who is going to make sure the gas stations don't just merely pocket the difference? Very dumb move right now.

Perdue could be a great man for all I know, but if we simply things and stereotype he's still a politician. Perdue is making the "correct" political move. People will love him for this, the refineries are coming back online and prices are most likely going to drop to pre-katrina prices in the next week or so. Now we all know that it will because supply is up. But he gets to point at his tax lift as the reason. Smoke and mirrors.
