Those taxes have never been used as a “price adjusting mechanism”. They are simply not structured that way.

Yet.

Would you bet your life, your fortune and your sacred honor that obama, pelosi and reid won't make it so?

The gov’t will just add a gasoline purchase fee. No need for taxation.

Yeah ... I would say that’s a safe bet that they’ll not turn those taxes into a price fixing mechanism. They couldn’t ever keep up ... LOL ...

I mentioned earlier that I saw gas prices in Tulsa, Oklahoma run all the way down to 99¢ a gallon in January of 2009 — from a record high just a few months prior. No one could have ever adjusted the taxes to keep up with that.

And just recently, over the span of a few months, I’ve seen the prices fluctuate about 60¢ a gallon - both up and down. You can’t get laws passed that quick ... :-) ...

SO ... no, you won’t see gas taxes used as a price control mechanism.
