Don't Increase Federal Gasoline Taxes - Abolish Them [PDF]
, 2007 Many experts believe that gasoline taxes should be increased for a variety of reasons. Their arguments are unpersuasive. Oil is not disappearing, and when it becomes more expensive, market agents will substitute away from gasoline to save money. The link
