A strong agree -- gas tax holiday is likely a bad idea that will slow the path to lower gas prices! If we want to make something cheaper: reduce the cost of public transportation. This reduces gas demand, preserves choice and is flexible public policy.

Jason Furman

@jasonfurman

Whatever you thought of the merits of a gas tax holiday in February it is a worse idea now. Refineries are even more constrained now so supply is nearly fully inelastic. Most of the 18.4 cent reduction would be pocketed by industry--with maybe a few cents passed on to consumers.
