That doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a couple of reasons:
1) Gas prices are lower than they were a year ago, so they're not what's driving the current inflation number.
2) Any temporary reduction in taxes is basically a shell game where you lower inflation now but then increase it later when you add the taxes back in. It doesn't actually solve anything related to inflation other than temporarily making the numbers look better than they are.
