Raising the fed gas tax by 67% will drive up prices on everything not just fuel. It is very naive to think the prices will just go up on your own personally pumped fuel.

For instance Food is highly dependent on fuel. Farm diesel is exempt but getting it to the markets will cost more. Want to buy a sheet of coroplast. You guessed it, more expensive.
It is a totally bad idea.
