I still find the idea ridiculous. 18 cents over, say, two months may save $30-50 dollars, maybe. But then when that tax gets slapped back on, the price of gas will still have risen. So say it's $3.68 when the holiday begins, and gas is $3.84 when it ends, then gas just became $4.02. In the end, the "savings" will just be paid later, and is avoiding the inevitable.
Then again, we could just find alternate fuel sources, or deal with the oil companies, which would be the best way to handle this.
