Gas prices are high, but CNN wants them higher. Lots higher. CNN’s Allen Wastler told viewers April 28 that the government should increase the price with a huge new tax. “Put in a tax to make it $4 a gallon right now,” he urged.

As of April 30, that would equal a tax hike of $1.047. According to the American Petroleum Institute, the average taxes on a gallon of gas already equal $0.458. Combined, the government would make $1.50 on every gallon of gasoline.
