ABC offers the worries that plummeting fuel prices could mean a return to 1980s cheap gas and 1980s cheap gas mentalities.
That $1 a gallon, sensibly phased in over five years, would keep Americans of 15-minute mindsets from rushing back to SUVs when the recession lightens.
It would also keep the floor higher for alt-fuels (and, hopefully, alt-fuels besides the ethanol ABC touts in the story).
More on those first two points at HybridCars.
It would fund a massive road-and-bridge repair project.
That, then, would help the economy, right now.
I'll have a newspaper column about this later this week.
