(LIVE FEED FROM BFM-TV ALL NEWS CHANNEL IN FRANCE OF PROTESTS TODAY AGAINST HIGH GASOLINE TAXES)
$1.97 per gal in Pflugerville, TX. Costco and Murphy Oil.
“Macron has insisted that the fuel tax rises are a necessary pain to reduce France’s dependence on fossil fuels and fund renewable energy investments”

it’s $6.50 per gallon in France and MORE.
Geez, it’s still $3+/gallon in Reno. Probably .20 cents less in Carson city.
It is pretty outrageous. How are you going to torch your neighbors’ cars at that price?
Over there Macron the President is imposing new taxes on fuel to save the planet.
They sell it by the liter so multiply by around 4 to get the gallon impact.
This year (many cars are diesel over there) a 7.6 cents a liter for diesel and 3.9 cents for gasoline.
On January 1st another 6.5 cents a liter for diesel and 2.9 cents for gasoline.
Of all the things going on in Texas to complain about (especially around our neck of the woods) the gas prices aren’t one of them. Granted, it should be even cheaper here, but...
They might be waking up in France? May they stay awake.
3.30-3.79 for unleaded regular in Yuba County, CA. Was so happy to see a station the other day under $3.25 in neighboring Sutter County. (Quick, let’s do another investigation of why gas is more expensive in California, blaming oil companies then bury the result which is, of course, taxes.)
They use an imperial gal so; $6.50x.833= $5.41 per US gal
That's what taxes add on over there to a gal of fuel. -Tom
Well, if I were going to the eeee-yeewww ever again, I’d take my own dang gas with me.
$1.89 yesterday near me in central Indiana
Mostly taxes.
The new rat house should hold hearings and issue subpoenas.
All this traffic, strong economy and car sales just is not right
Rioting is inevitable when the government decides what prices will be.
Which is pretty much what they did in 2007, tanking the economy
Thought libs loved high gas prices.
I hope so too. Didn't Marine LePen get a decent margin in the vote vs. Macron? And I know there is a big pro-family anti-gay marriage group that's pretty powerful in France, but I don't know how "big" they really are.
