  - at least here, that drop in gas prices has gotten way way smaller in recent weeks. back to $3.50-4+/gallon for regular. - b. May 20, 16:13 1

tolls would be a better option imo. same theory, get people who travel more, but with tolls you also hit out-of-state drivers -- nm - Beaker May 20, 15:32 1
