I should have said I'm not sure THE GOVT should be trying to make gasoline cheaper. It's bad public policy. People use more of things that cost less (downward-sloping demand curve). Using more petroleum has national security, land use, environmental and other costs. Why the govt should intervene to exacerbate the problem even more is beyond me.
