My son used to drive 18 wheelers and it used to to me that the price of Diesel was so high, since it is a by product of gasoline. I do remember when Diesel was a lot lower then gasoline. Now it’s just the opposite

Wow! Now thats record keeping at its finest!Thank you. I started keeping fairly detailed records when I retired in 1999. It's not hard at all and takes just a couple of minutes a day. It's sort of a hobby.
I use Excel spreadsheets and let Excel do all the heavy lifting.

The neat thing...because of the tax structure...we are paying more on gas taxes now, than we ever did before.Only if we're consuming more now. All states and the fed tax fuel per gallon. It's a fixed rate excise tax. That excise tax varies by state and fuel type (the fed rate is 18.4 cents/gallon for gas and 24.4 cents/gallon for diesel). Some states do add sales tax on top of this (California, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Virginia), but most do not. The higher the price of fuel, the lower actual percentage cost of the fuel tax, again, excepting those states that charge a sales tax on top of everything else.

I’m actually spending a lot less on gas than I did in 2009, because Obama eliminated my entire branch at the Missile Defense Agency at the end of 2011 and now I drive a lot less.

But he is a cool guy and black and I’d vote for him again.
Signed, uninformed voter.
PS. Hey, why is gasoline so much more expensive. And BTW, why did my taxes go up? I am confused. I know — those evil oil companies and the Republicans. Oh wait, its Bush’s fault, too.

it’s on purpose. otherwise too many people would buy 50-mpg clean diesel cars and start denting into the supply meant for truckers.

Today, Americans are spending $900 more annually on gas than they did in 2009...wife spent this Saturday afternoon sympathizing with our niece who was literally sobbing about how badly her finances had deteriorated since the first of the year - now paying twice as much to drive to work for both her and her husband due to higher gas prices, and trying to adjust to the two percent cut in their takehome pay from the Payroll Tax along with hikes in their medical insurance and pension contributions - but all we get from Obama is whining and wailing because the government's funds are likely to be cut by two percent - let the politicians learn what it's like to tighten their belts like the little people do all the time......

YMMV

Just for fun, tell a liberal that the price of gasoline has doubled since Obama took office in 2008.
They will say you are wrong, so you google it for them.

2% pay roll tax increase my foot. When my and I were still working 7% percent was each taken out of our paychecks and I am sure out of yours too, when you was still working so when the pay roll tax went up the first of the year it went to were it was before. Needless to say those on Social Security did not see a increase for two years except for the medicare deduction that is taken out of our ss checks every month

I believe only one (1) takeoff up to cruising altitude for Moochelle costs US taxpayers $85,000
Then add on the distance to Spain, Cape Cod, or Hawaii
Then add the landing
Then add the armed Secret Service agents
(Valerie Jarrett had six (6) Secret Service agents on her Va-Ca to Olde Cape Cod)
The Obamas took three (3) separate jets to Cape Cod and a few hours apart
Quit griping about filling up your gas tank - Walk!
The Obamas cost US taxpayers one (1) billion ($1,000,000,000) a year
The entire British family costs UK taxpayers 258 million dollars a year
Let’s rent the Brit Royal Family and hire Romney to run the USA
“Ground” the Obamas with extreme prejudice or duct tape them to drones!
