Huh. I just filled up for $2.41 a gallon in Illinois, where everyone and his brother puts a tax on gasoline.

Our "family" interurban had some places where tracks used to run that are now small and getting smaller- Harcourt, Boxholm, Lehigh; places that are just grain storage bins and little else- Roberts, Lundgren, Ericson; and places that are vapor- Hope, Shady Oak, Border Plains.

Ankeny did okay for itself, though!

They are opposed to taxes Macron introduced last year on diesel and petrol which are designed to encourage people to shift to more environmentally friendly transport. Alongside the tax, the government has offered incentives to buy green or electric vehicles.

Sounds like a perfect plan to wreck the economy.
