Tongue firmly in cheek, I will say that I LOVE high priced gas. Cindy & I took a run over the Cascades & back home yesterday.
$3+ per gallon, plus it being Tuesday, I enjoyed a lightly trafficked run over the same pass that I haven't enjoyed in literally decades. As far as increasing supply, thus lowering prices? Other than taxation, it's supply and demand. Open up the drilling fields, allow more refineries to be built...that would help. Taxation? If your state is owned by liberals, forget it...In Oregon, the state tax exceeds the federal tax by a wide margin.
