Gas is not being taxed up to 3.50 a gallon, Americans are just dumb and won't protest the rise in prices because we have become used to it.
US COULD raise gas prices further, and then remove any and all tax breaks and such for oil companies, that would raise revenue in two ways, but neither will happen, oil companies will still rake that cash in, and Americans will only be outraged for a short term before they just get used to it.
Some people need trucks to do work, and they will get buy. The rest of the people that have them that don't have them outside of the typical "safety" nonsense will either have to start shelling out more cash, or get a wagon.
