Gas Taxes

Commentator David Fleischaker blames high gas prices around the country on consumers who drive gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles. He suggests leaders could help by educating consumers, encouraging exploration for oil and gas, and mandating minimum mileage. Fleischaker is an independent oil and gas producer who lives in Oklahoma City.
