I highly doubt gas would be cheaper if the government didn't tax it.
The truth is that the government places high taxes on the motor vehicles so that they can help the people pay for the gas. It's the government that actuall makes the gas cheaper for us. Have you noticed how the price of gas has risen about 20 cents for the United States versus the high price of gas for Europeans where they pay about the same much we do per gallon, where they pay the same price per liter instead.

I've also read somewhere that having an octane too high above what your car should have is bad. Is this true?
