Suspending the gas tax will simply have the following effects:
1) Interstate and state roads maintenance will go into the red or go undone.
2) The basic price will rise in response to extra demand.
3) This saves about $4/tank. Great bribe, you two wankers ... O.o
Of course, people are waving the ANWR drill flag again (10yrs lag before about two years of fuel).
Barak is right - reducing demand through improvements to infrastructure and efficiencies in use will save a LOT more and reduce fuel dependency.
Hell, walking around and trout-whacking people who don't turn off their engines while waiting in line for gas will save an amazing amount of fuel.
