I agree with you, that driving less would indeed lower demand for fuel.
But I didn't buy a SAAB because I want to drive LESS; but because I'm a
driving enthusiast who loves the feel of such an excellent car at speed.

Here in Minnesota, state and federal taxes account for $ .33 per gallon
of unleaded gas. I heard George W. Bush recommend a suspension of fuel
taxes until prices fall better in line. Why hasn't anyone thought of
this before? Rather than ruining the summer travel economy, dropping
these fuel taxes would allow families to proceed with vacation plans. If
anyone remembers economist Arthur Laffer--who theorized that lowering
taxes would spur economic activity, resulting in greater tax revenues
generated than even before--now would be an excellent time to call his
theory into practice.

After all, why should the American motorist have to eat it? Contact your
representatives in-state as well as in Washington and urge them to
suspend fuel taxes at once!
