Personally, I look at the overall price of gas, independent of the elements that go into the final charge per gallon.

That said, if gas can stay below $3/gallon I'm ok with that. Perhaps if the cost per barrel fluctuate, we could then reduce the tax to offset such increases.

I am not in favor of adding more debt to our already disastrous debt levels.

I wonder if anyone in this any administration can do basic arithmetic.

Fixed that for you

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Gas where I'm at is $2.79 for regular unleaded. That extra $.25 would push it right over the $3 mark.
