Therefore, the revenue people are looking into raising gas taxes so that the present dollar-range price might remain as-is, with the falling commodity price offset by the increased taxes. As a side question, do you ever see gas prices at any other price than at .9 cents per gallon? (Ignoring those areas where prices are per liter or per some other quantity.) The only time I've ever seen this was at a gas station in a National Park during a vacation in the late 60's -- the gas then was .6 cents per gallon. We asked the pump jockey what the reason for the 6-tenths was, but he had no explanation. That's the only time I've ever noticed anything other than a 9-tenths price. Will
