The People's Socialist Democratic Republic of Montgomery County, Maryland: $2.74 on Tuesday, $3.09 on Wednesday night, for regular.

Funny, 'cause they were pumping out of the same underground tank on Wednesday as they were on Tuesday. That gas had already been bought and paid for by the station owner; his price hadn't gone up.

Rush made a good point on Wednesday. He said that most of the price of gas consists of taxes, so if the president wanted to keep prices low he'd order the suspension of gas taxes and special localized mixes. Prices would immediately drop 50 cents per gallon.

He could suspend federal gas taxes(I beleive its around 15 cents a gallon and the majority of taxes on gas are state and local taxes) and already has suspended the EPA "boutique" blends.

He's already relaxed the Clean Air Act that mandates the boutique fuel blends.
