80% of all car owners in Tennessee aged 16 to 60 fill their tank on Friday. 68% of car owners also fill their tanks on Sunday. 34% Saturday.

Gasoline prices are based on the more that is needed, the more it should cost because it can't ever be replaced. So the owners of the oil product needs to make more because he will never earn for that product again. (THIS IS THE TRUTH and not the normal supply and demand thesis)

Now guess what happens if the Friday and Sunday fill-ups stopped for one weekend and we all filled up on Thursday? Come Monday afternoon gas would drop about a 75 cents. If this occured for 12 weeks, gas prices at the pump would be 1/2 or more less than it was for a long time.

Want $1.50 gas again, don't pump on Friday, Sat or Sunday and it will be here before you know it.

So I propose if we can't do this ourselves, by being responsible, we tax weekend gas purchases at least a dollar a gallon more, give the money to the local school district to offset the price of our poor driving habits because we are going to get hit either at the pump or in property taxes because we are mandated to provide educational serivces.

Also, nowhere should the speed limit be above 55 on the highway and nowhere more than 40 in the city. More speeding tickets please!
