I think cities should add a few cents in gas tax and invest them in free public transportation. I would also support the government raising the gas tax a few cents and pouring it all into researching things like better fuel economy and alternative fuels. Also the government could use some of that offset to give larger tax breaks for purchasing hybrid cars. I wish the government would raise fuel economy standards gradually over the next 10-20 years and get it up to the 50 mpg rate.
