Wow..."people are going to keep buying gasoline".
That makes Bloomberg the least in touch politician of the political year!
People have to go to work.
People have to buy groceries.
People have to drop kids off from school.
And for most this requires a car (the masthead of Grist excluded, since they live off their parents trust funds).
Taxes? How about the already egregious taxes on gasoline that are collected each and every day on these necessary activities of life?
