They are always 2 - 3 cents cheaper so they can suck in the dumb ****s to stupid to know any better. We should be paying $5/gallon. I find it amusing that you and the left wing are the first to condemn Bush for his role with big oil, but turn around and advocate $5 per gallon gasoline. Max |

Big oil has nothing to do with it. Move to Michigan, then...they've already got heavy gas taxes that have stretched their economy to the limit.... |

Indiana has recently matched Michigan in terms of tax surcharges on gasoline. Despite that it generally is anywhere from 5 to 10 cents cheaper to buy gas in Michigan than in northern Indiana. Max |

It should be in the form of a gas tax. Big oil has nothing to do with it. I'd much rather the additional cost of gasoline be in the form of profits to big oil than in the form of additional federal gas taxes. The government needs to learn to live within its means. Just dumping more revenue into Washington won't solve anything. And the bottom line: the working poor still won't be able to fill their vehicles with gasoline, regardless of where the money goes. You live in an area with relative affluence. Around here we have lots of po' folk, and I watch them struggle with the price of fuel every time I go to the pumps. Most of them own the only vehicles they can afford--big old, poorly-running American cars with horrible fuel economy. I put gas in one elderly woman's car one morning. She had put in $2 worth--all she had--which was not even a gallon. She had to drive to a friend's funeral in a nearby town and she was worried that she wouldn't make it, let alone get home. So I put in $20 worth--it was the most that had been put in that old junk heap in over a year, she said. I recall John Kerry advocating much higher fuel prices during the campaign, ostensibly in order to force people and automakers to gravitate to more economical vehicles, and to encourage alternative energy schemes. Sounds great on paper, but no one seems to care that a large segment of our population will suffer under such artificially-high fuel prices. Max |

Max It also hits small business in a big way...my son-in-law runs a tree service. It's him and a part-time guy that comes along when he has to climb to handle the ropes...his business is gas intensive...the chipper wagon, the stump grinder, the various chain saws, his loader...when he tried to pass on the increased cost of gas in his estimates, he started to lose business. So instead, he is now quoting his old prices and working a midnight shift job to boot...what;s right about that? I'm sure most farmer's are in the same boat, as well as landscape guys...even with the ag benefits on diesel, it's still horrendous...and when gas goes up, so does everything else...so then you not only have people unable to go anywhere, they also can't afford to buy gresh vegetables tha thacve been tricked in at exorbiatant prices. |

Have you not read Adam Smith? It's the guiding hand, Katy. With astronomical gasoline and fuel oil prices that tree will be worth more. People will cut down trees to heat their homes or power their cars. I, Gilligan, have devised the most efficient and benign form of transportation yet! It's the geothermal car! Next will be the geothermal boat! Hisssss!!!! |
