The problem is one of consumption vs. production. You can lower the tax on gasoline, but in a couple of days the price will rise again offsetting any savings you may get. No this is much bigger, and will last for a long time. Using less gas is good, but as our economy grows so does our oil consumption, as China and India's economy grows so does their oil consumption.
