It's supposed to be a .40 increase in FED tax per gallon of fuel. .40 over 5 years. It is currently at 18.4 cpg. State tax varies, of course, but that would go up as well.

[QUOTE=empiretc]Don't know where you heard that, but that would be nearly freaking impossible. Kind of like the gps in your passport card & drivers license.

Got to love how we elect people in office to in turn screw us over in the end

Explain this:
Three gas stations, all on the same street within a mile of each other. 3.19 at Town and Country, 3.15 at Valero.... 3.40 at Chevron? What I really don't get is that Cheron is packed everytime I drive by, and their gas and diesel prices are 10-20 cents above the rest of town normally. I want to go there and hear someone complain about the price, then let them in on the apparently HUGE secret that there's a station not 300 yards away where its 20 cents cheaper.

Well from what I have seen They have gone down 3-7 cents in the last week. Started over-the-road driving Jan. of 06 Price then was about 2.-2.50. Happy now to get it for 3.01 in Oke. City. Wish it would go down, I would make more money! Check out diesel boss for truck stop prices, cash listed 8 cents more for credit. Or. And Il is 20-25 cents higher for credit.

The price will go down but will be above where it was, so everyone will be happy prices droped even though you're paying 20 cents more than befor the hike then same time next year prices will shoot up again then drop.
Just the oil companies way of makeing us except higher prices. gass prices have been doing this for years now its our turn to feel the love.

I went diesel since it has always been cheaper than gas. When I just bought my truck, the prices were around 2.80. Since fall, it jumped to 3.50. I only seen a 10 cent drop recently. 20 cents at the major gas stations for semis. I'm wondering if everyone got into the diesel trend and that drove up diesel prices too.
