You knew that they wouldn’t be able to resist raising taxes on fuel with the price as low as it is.

“You knew that they wouldn’t be able to resist raising taxes on fuel with the price as low as it is.”

They already are raising the price of fuel by ramming ethanol down our throats, and gutting the coal and nuclear industry.

Not even talking about the huge subsidies we are paying for solar and wind power generation which cannot compete commercially, especially at the lower prices.

Obama’s entire energy strategy can be summed up in one phrase: ‘Make ‘em pay more’

Stop rubbing it in- it’s still $2.20 here!

Geez, I'd better not tell you that it's $1.66 here - and with the dollar off coupon [I usually get 5 gallons], that would make it $1.46...

No worries! 0Muslim will sort that out for us peasants!

The problem is that I’ve got all my 5 gallon gas cans filled, and I still have coupons to burn. A buck buys too much gas now. :)
