FOR THE US There is a simple solution. Rebate income tax FIRST in an amount EQUAL to RAISING the Federal gas tax then let the individual make his choices. We should SHIFT NOT RAISE taxes!
Imagine $1000 rebate then $1.00/gal extra (we use about 1000 gallons/yr/family).
Trucker or pilot - no problem as we don't touch diesel or jet fuel and there will be more available. Drive a Hummer or delivery pizza to suburban couch potatoes - you are the problem.
cusomer spending is 2/3 of economic activity. i agree increasing EITC would help and another tax cut for the middle class and below. hope for the best.
I think we are all a bit to blame for this happing now. We let a president who doesn't know a lot about debt to run up a amount that killed other empires before us. We didn't invest in other fuels during the time when gas was very cheap at the pump and we are now paying for it badly NOW. I hope that the next president the best of luck fixing Our current president problems.

Somewhere there's a guy who lost his job, is flat broke and just ran out of gas. He's the real expert, not this douche. :P
