yeah but that tax on gas pays for roads, and as much as everyone complains about taxes, you would all cry a red streak if the roads started getting bumpier.

The global oil and gas commodity markets set the price of gas. That can of course be manipulated and is of course influcenced by supply and deman.
Oh, and then of course the government plays a hand in that via taxes put on every gallon of gas.

umm........the marketplace set the prices. Where supply meets demand you achieve market equilibrium. The government regulates and taxes the product, therefore artificially raising the price above the point of market equilibrium, causing artificial inflation of the product and and related products and industries.

the market. if you try to sell gas at too high a price, some other company will sell it for less, thereby undercutting you. if you try to sell it below market price, you'll go broke
