A price floor is better than a massive gas tax because the gas companies would maintain the profits here, they would be selling less, but selling at a higher profit margin, and the overall effect on their profits would be null.

I really don't want the money from any of these changes taken out of the hands of the consumers, so a gas tax would be counter productive, IMO.
