Me, for one. Of course "demand" is too strong, but I do think I would be a lot better off in many ways if gas cost quite a bit more than it does. Wouldn't affect me personally: at $4/gal, I pay less per mile than your SUV/ovrsized pickup driver would at $1/gal.
Now what the government spends money on is a separate issue: if they don't get it from gas taxes, they'll get it from income taxes or something. Given a choice, I'd rather they taxed harmful & wasteful things, like tobacco or gas guzzlers, than people's income.
