Add Bill Ford to Chorus on Higher Gas Tax

Who’s the latest to speak out among this parade of pinkos, you ask? The executive chairman of Ford, Bill Ford Jr., has begun to advocate strongly for a gas tax that creates a price bottom for gasoline. Ford cites the need for “predictability” in fuel pricing and suggests the government send a price signal strong enough to turn people permanently toward buying fuel-efficient cars.

He says gas prices of $3.50 per gallon produced a “sea change in customer behavior” this past summer. That is what it will likely take to move American buyers to fuel-efficient cars consistently.
