Thank you legislators.

i'll take that anyday over going after the income from your paychecks

this way the thugs and others who work off the books pay as well
i know its easier to collect from your income versus other taxes
just put a positive spin on it, like "it's for the children" or it's for someones pension plan

Gas is hovering just over $2 in our area. I paid about $1.85 for off-road diesel, yesterday. Reg diesel remains higher than gas.

Just a few years back, before gas went to $4, diesel was usually at least a dime cheaper than gas, around here. But as gas started to come down, they left diesel from 30-50 cents higher than gas.

Filled up my car YESTERDAY for $2.42 a gallon (Regular). Now the same gas stations that were $2.42 to $2.49 yesterday are $3.19 a gallon! Holy crap! Took 14 gallons yesterday. If I had waited one day, I would paid an extra $10.78. That's 2 Little Caesar's Pizzas + tax.

Still holding steady at $2.75-79 in Gettysburg. Gotta rip off the tourists as much as possible

We pay 37.4 cents tax per liter of gas thats what? about 1.50 per gallon in tax!

News last night said refinery issues in the midwest! I paid 2.23 Tuesday! I got them before they got THE CALL!!!

[hurryinhoosier62]

$2.45 here this morning. That's DOWN 5 cents per gallon since Sunday.

[Jack Peters]

Don, I agree. Sales tax is better than income tax any day. If I spend , I pay. No spend, no pay. Just under/over $3 a gallon here.

That's another thing.... refinery problems. They'll pull that scam as much as they can just to jump prices. Fun and games galore.

Or as Enron used to say "taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities."

Ah, here ya go, same ol', same ol'....they're estimating it will reach around $3.50 a gallon before the "crisis" is over, and as usual it will take months and months for it to creep back down while the oil companies line their pockets.

WHITING, Ind. (WLS) -- Gas prices are expected to rise in the Chicago area over the next few days because of a problem at the BP refinery in Whiting, Ind.

The largest of BP's three crude oil distillation units, which distills about 240,000 barrels of oil per day, was shut down Saturday for unscheduled work. BP says there's no estimate when the repairs will be done.

In reality, a sales tax is the ONLY "fair" tax.

yup...
and i wouldn't have problem with them doing that for a flat federal tax as well instead of hitting our income
hit everyone evenly
let the freeloaders feel a pinch here and there too
so they can see what the voted for and what it costs....

Well, instead of go'n down a few cents a day as usual after the jump to 2.79, it jumped again to 3.09 yesterday.

Man it just keeps dropping here. It went from $2.60 down to $2.40 in a few days.

[BlueGTO]

I live 15 min from M.I.S. ours jumped .50 last night to $2.70 because its race weekend.

[Willshire]

Supply and demand! Lots of driving in the summer gas comps jack up the prices!

[61 389-348]

Just got a notice from the android app, Gas Buddy, that priced are going up another 50 cents a gallon. So that's a buck a gallon increase since the weekend. Within 30 minutes all local stations will be at exactly the same price.

Sumthin wrong here and I think Mr Sherman (Sherman Anti Trust Act) would be quite interested.

[BlueGTO]

Edit from my post 1 1/2 hrs ago now $3.00

[goatman65]

I heard on the radio a few hours ago that a barrel went down today to like $40 something. Gas here has been $2.75 for months.
