In Germany, regular unleaded is currently around $4.30 a gallon.

That price probably consists of very high taxes and does not reflect the true cost of production and delivery. Since that is the case, do you want people to be taxed excessively if they drive SUVs?

I would love to see a 100% tax (minimum) on gasoline, with a corresponding reduction in other Federal tax revenue (income tax, etc.). If that means that the price at the pump goes up, so be it; It will go up for those who drive mopeds and for those who drive SUVs. I do not like the fact that the money I pay at the pump finds its way to hundreds of Islamic schools across the Middle East that teach children to hate and kill Americans.

Would I consider such a tax excessive? Hell no. What is your childrens' future worth?
