<p>It is my firm belief that they can place a "Tax" on that gallon of gasoline and try to discourage me from buying that gasoline.</p><p>Since Katrina I have watched gasoline get close to 4.00 a gallon and absolutely no slow down in the morning commute downtown. The people are buying gasoline any way they can get it; including credit card debt if need be.</p><p>In my home, I dont pay attention to the cost per gallon I want that tank filled each week without any shorts at the pump. If you want my attention, ration gasoline to odd-even days, dig out the ABC cards from world war two or not have any gas at all availible.</p><p>Then I will be looking into other ways to make our work happen each week. But to raise prices in order to "Discourage" me from using gasoline does not work. I have enough room built into my budget to withstand such increases up to and including my monthly allowance for trains if need be.</p><p>Having said this, I see several times a week people who need to choose between a tank of gas, medicines or food. Sometimes they get gas first, food second and medicines last and endure hardships to get to the next paycheck.</p><p>Or some times just get gas, skip the medicines and not eat very much at all to survive the current pay period.</p><p>From the sound of the cars going by with very high dollar sound systems, some folks spend thousands and have the resources to cruise around 24/7 regardless of gas prices.</p><p>That is unacceptable to me.</p>
