I'm for it an here's why if the Democrats take the White House an pull out our troops Iran will swoop in an take over Iraq then we will be paying $8-$10.00 Dollars gallon if Iran drives down through the Saudi Peninsula like their plan calls for...we will be paying $10-$15 dollars a gallon might as well get what we can right now! an remember the good old days when gas was at $3.39 gallon....

Why do they not do something? The sad fact is some of them think that high gas prices will force us to alternative fuels that can not compete with the price of gas today. Others are making money from the high prices. Either way we are screwed.

We could save 1/5 of the cost if companies went to a 4 day work week and governments did the same.

Think high performance Electric Cars.

The only thing a gas tax holiday will do is take much needed money away from infrastructure.

While I would love a discount at the gas station, the roads in Massachusetts are in critical need of repairs. This tax holiday would take money out of the wrong pocket.

Jimk243 The money is there they are misspending an there is fraud going on right now on the highway repairs or milking the jobs...it was in the papers about the road repairs right now [ongoing] are being misused an you probably can add PAID POLICE DETAILS on the site's across this State as part of the cost overruns.....they are turning into a whole bunch of BIG DIGS i just wonder if they have a portable golf range in a BEKINS MOVING VAN that travels with the State Police FROM SITE TO SITE like they had that fixed golf range at the BIG DIG SITE...recently in the news.

With SUPER PROFITS,do you really think Mobil/Exxon,Shell/Texico,or any other Oil Company is going to work on alternatives?
When their Presidents make over a kool million a year?Or More!.When the companies make over 5 million a quarter?EACH!And climbing!Come on,be real.Unless we stop using so much a day,these prices will never go down.Those reserves are for the military usage.In case of a war in the US.If the fuel is cut off,we will have oil to fight until we get the ones that cut it off out of the way.All these fighters and tanks use
alot of fuel.A carrier uses I think 10,000plus gal/day to fly these jets.But everyone against the war will make comment on why we need to come home.If we do,I promiss that terrorists will be on US soil in less than 1 year.
The war will be on US SOIL.

The Citgo station just North of Gillette Stadium on Route 1 is limiting gas purchases to $35 - which for me was 8.5 gallons. Rationing has started. Getting rid of the tax isn't going to help when you can't buy it.

Fishercat,

Tell us why it is so advantageous for us to have voted George W. Bush into office, a well known oil executive/scammer who promised us that he would work to lower energy costs, restore integrity in the White House 8 years ago and whom you continue to defend? Please do tell us that his policies both foreign and domestic are doing wonders for the American economy/American people and its future? It is the fear mongering that you subscribe to try and make us beleive in that led to the reckless invasion into Iraq costing near trillions. Who would have thought that with a president and administration that writes more checks than Americans can afford that America is better off today without Saddam Hussein? Maybe life is a bit easier for you in your secluded retreat living in rural Massachusetts but I assure you that many people who worked hard to upkeep the American dream will now struggle and probably lose it if they already haven't. Take your foot out of your mouth when you want to educate us on your understanding the world. I don't buy it especially when by your own admission you could not take living in the city and retreated to the rural areas of Massachusetts. We are going to pay a lot for energy now because Bush's policies have enabled these oil companies to make record profits. Don't forget about his origins.
