Exactly this.

+1. There's no gas shortage, just price gouging. I don't support a tax holiday.

Virginia Senate Democrats voted to kill Republican governor Glenn Youngkin's proposed gas tax holiday even as the state's average gas price inches back up to four dollars.
All 11 Democrats on the Finance and Appropriations Committee voted Wednesday against Youngkin's proposal, which would have waived the Old Dominion's gas tax for 90 days. One Republican, state senator Emmett Hanger, joined the Democrats to block the tax holiday, 7News DC's Nick Minock reported.
Virginians last week showed up at the state Capitol to express their support for the proposal.
"This is something that is common sense," one person told the House Finance Committee. "Why would you vote against this? Why would you vote to take money out of my family's mouth?"
