  Explain the likely impact of that higher tax rate on conservation, oil exploration, and the development of substitutes for gasoline.

Answer to Question 1

The increase in the federal excise tax on gasoline would increase the price of gasoline, which would decrease consumption and encourage conservation. The higher gas price would make it more profitable for oil companies to expand exploration, and it would encourage the development of substitutes for gasoline.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
