If you ask me, and no one ever will, the best thing to do with gas prices right now is to jack up the tax to $10 per gallon and use the surplus to start rebuilding our entire infrastructure. From neighborhoods, to local roads, to freeways, to interstates, the whole concept of how we move goods and people around this country needs to be redrawn from scratch. What we need now is not gas-tax holidays or more offshore drilling, but people with the ability to think big, absurd, techno utopian dreams. Namely, I want to go to work in a people mover. Somebody ought to make it happen.
