The concept to noble but the application is flawed.

The problem is demand is outstripping supply. By lowering the tax and reducing the cost the demand should increase, as it would for any good or service that is made cheaper through tax reductions.

That increased demand will only result in high prices for refined fuel on the open market.

I agree the gas tax is terrible and should be abolished, but the result in this enviroment will only make things worse.

Supply and demand is a fact of life. What I'm having a hard time with is that being "demand" is a project able figure and goes with our economy, war effort and international policies, how did "supply" become so manipulated?
