	Greg Mankiw's Blog: The Pigou Club Manifesto
		I could agree with a higher gas tax, if it could be demonstrated that the cost of the gas tax (both explicit and implicit) would be less than the perceived environmental benefits.
		The problem with a tax based solution is that it will only reduce demand for the taxed goods (and in the case of oil, impact the economy in the same way an interest rate rise would) without promoting an equal and opposite reaction.
		It would be a good thing for the tax to rise as the price of petroleum rose, both to moderate the transfer of wealth and power to the exporting countries and to increase the incentive to innovate and switch to alternatives.

	Report :: Perspective on The Gas Tax and Car Registration Fees by Mary E. Forsberg
		The Gas Tax Is Regressive - Or Is It?
		Gas taxes and license fees were first imposed as a revenue source for road construction and maintenance in the 1920s.
		At the time of enactment, the proceeds of the federal gas tax - which in 1933 represented almost 8 percent of federal revenue collected from all sources - were not earmarked for road construction, but federal aid for road building and maintenance was continuously provided to the states.

	When did the Federal Government begin collecting the gas tax? - Ask the Rambler - Highway History - FHWA
		While many of the taxes are not as I desired, the bill will effect the major purpose of assurance to the country and the world of the determination of the American people to maintain their finances and their currency on a sound basis.
		No tax for the general support of Government is just in its application when the amount of the burden is determined by the distance the taxpayer must drive to or from his farm or his place of employment, or in the conduct of his business.
		The Revenue Act of 1951 (October 21, 1951) increased the gas tax to 2 cents as a revenue source during the Korean War that began in June 1951, with the increase to be repealed on April 1, 1954.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Oregon to test mileage tax as replacement for gas tax
		It suggested a tax of 1.25 cents per mile to eventually replace the state's gas tax of 24 cents per gallon.
		Besides, he adds, the gas tax was effectively a mileage tax 40 years ago, when almost every car got eight to 12 miles to the gallon.
		It also decided the tax should be calculated and paid at the pump, so people wouldn't have to go to a government office or deal with another bill in their mailbox.

	Why Congress Should Cut the Gas Tax
		In 1990, Congress and the President increased the federal gas tax by 5 cents per gallon (2.5 cents went to general revenue rather than for transportation spending), and just three years later, they hiked the gas tax by 4.3 cents for general revenue and more spending.
		As of January 2000, state gas taxes averaged 19.9 cents per gallon; taxes in many states are even higher, such as in Connecticut (32.0 cents), New York (29.8 cents), Montana (27.75 cents), and Wisconsin (25.8 cents).
		Washington's wasteful spending of federal gas tax revenues points to the need for Americans to demand that Washington get out of the way and do what is fair by giving control of highway programs back to states and local communities.

	Citizens Against Tolls
		The gas tax is one of the fairest and most efficient of all "use" taxes (when used for roads).
		However, since all the tax collected on toll roads goes to other roads, the gas tax is blatantly unfair to toll road users, who are paying for two roads while driving just one.
		Although CAT has developed a plan which could eliminate tolls without a gas tax hike (see CAT Plan), we have always contended that the money needed to run the Parkway ($130 million) could be obtained by a 3¢ gas* tax hike, (*$200 million toll revenue minus the $70 million wasted from collecting it).

		Any would-be tax cutter faces a basic problem: Taxes are at a historical high as a percentage of national income, and the government is running a budget surplus, but cutting taxes somehow seems fiscally irresponsible.
		Another benefit of a rise in the gas tax would be a reduction in the size of vehicles.
		A gas tax is an indirect way of making people pay when their massive vehicles impose risk on others, which in turn makes them take account of this risk when choosing whether to buy some monster urban-assault vehicle or go with a sensible compact.

		The oil and gas sector has over the last few years been one of the most vital components of the Russian economy, and tax payments from companies within that sector account for a large proportion of budget revenue.

		We are therefore of the opinion that the development of the industry in the current year will be to a large extent shaped by the state of the oil and gas sector in 2006.
