“John Samford:
“Several economists and energy experts are calling it what it is : USELESS
for example say if you buy 60 gallons of gas a month what is the saving? 60X.185=$11.00″
464 gallons per capita per annum is the national average.

Data from Energy Information Administration, which I have never heard of. I assume it’s some sort of DoE offshoot, but I could be wrong.”
If the per capita per annum national average is 464 gallons, then at that rate, the annual savings with the gas tax holiday will be 464X0.185=$85 or $7 per month and for 3 months of summer $21
SO where is the true economic benefit to the gas consumer?
