Gas, like food, seems to be a necessary commodity for many people and so is a subsistence good. It is required in order to live and exercise one's basic rights. As such, taxing it for the purpose of achieving other goods, or at all, tends to be regressive, and thus preferably discouraged. Progressive taxes are, according to most, preferred over regressive taxes, and there is no shortage of possible progressive taxes we could use to achieve the same goals. The fact that the affluent would not be particularly affected by such a tax is a negative.
