Those of use in the highest tax states will be screwed harder. This will push gas up to almost $4 a gallon.

I remember when gas first went above .50 cents per gallon and we had to get in line.
I am of the opinion that it is going to take $8/gallon gas to get ppl to conserve like need be.

Prices have come down here now, but when gas prices were above $4 there was significant less traffic. Worth the extra money.

How about we leave diesel alone and up the tax on petrol by a buck a gallon? It might stimulate more diesel options on this side of the pond and also get some of the S-boxes off the road.

Besides- if everyone was driving electric cars then a gas tax would generate no money. But that's not an issue- the ruling party is no stranger to taxing more somehow... |

But out in the midwest its about $3 a gallon or less.
High tax states suck. This country is awash in oil and gas right now, it should come down to around $3 a gallon. Right now were at $3.60ish.

Gotta love Jorn's quote. Might as well say that about anything someone shoves down your throat- if they do it enough you'll forget it's a bad thing, right?
