Taxes result in dead weight too, you don't seem to understand, you're paying for that gas no matter what. The only difference is that if you pay at the pump price elasticity forces some of the cost onto the company.

There is no such thing as forcing a cost back onto a company. Because every single cent that any buisness makes comes from the sales of its goods to the consumer. Thus no matter where you force the cost, in the end it is paid for by the consumer.
