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.

Yeah. Good thing pelosi, et al is not clever enough to write a law that states "evil carbon creating gasoline, diesel, ethanol and any other carbon containing fuel intended for motor vehicle operation shall be taxed at an automatically adjusted rate that sustains a pump price of $5.00 or higher"...
