On the gas tax thing, jack them up so that the true cost to society of consuming gas is internalized, and cut a check to everyone offsetting that additional tax. That will induce folks to reduce their commute times, etc. There is actually a national proposal to do this (carbon based products as a whole, not just gas), supported by both conservative and liberal economists. If you want to raise revenue, means test who gets the checks, so the tax hits those of means only.
Sorry to go off topic here.
