For simplicity it will be assumed that this price is $2.50 per gallon. When equilibrium prices are under $2.50 per gallon the excess payments will be kept in a government fund.

As far as raising gas prices‚ I think that will cause more damage than good. People rely too much on transportation nowadays to make gas expensive.
