so are rebates and I've yet to see a candidate witha solid grasp of the economic problems facing the US. That said, I'll take my rebate and bank it. I wouldn't benefit from a gas tax suspension at all since I don't drive much.
.18 doesn't sound like much (esp when the state's take is 26 cents) but the cost of transportation figures into the price of everything from beer to cereal so yes, it does make a difference...even though it's not really at the heart of our problems. That said, it might be smarter to end ethanol subsidies instead. And rather than spend gas money on new highways as we've done for two generations, it might be smart to start using it for maintenance.
