I'm a little confused. I know that there has been talk of this on a federal level with the pres canidates but I didn't understand that because neither clinton or obama will be in office to make such a change over the summer. am I missing something? now I see this article that In new york, they are suspending the tax and having a 'gas tax holiday'. What effect will this really have? Is it definitely going to happen here in new york? http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=000c0938-19ba-4472-8822-5e44c235e0f1
they are talking about the federal gas tax which is about 18 cents a gallon. this tax goes to the federal highway funds which take care of roads and bridges which are in a state of decay in America. over the course of 3 months of average driving, that won't make much of a dent in the overall fuel cost. in short, it is a political gimick to garner votes
