Of course if you go onto the whole story, he is saying a gas tax increase is better for the industry than the crazy fuel economy standards D.C. is pushing.

Well, and it will actually continue to fund roads that cars drive on. Unless we're going to pay for transportation infrastructure out of the general fund something has to be done. And increasing the gas tax has some of the benefits of CAFE standards while paying for the roads we drive on.

Thats dumb. How about if we just let the market determine that ACTUAL price of things?

Are you arguing that infrastructure spending should all be market based? How would that work?
