Only moving to a city next door. Our moron Trudeau also brought in a carbon tax on top of our moron provincial governments carbon tax. Gas will be expensive this summer!

It won't be too much longer we will be taxed on our tax. I see cash going up in value real soon. People are fixing to get to the point that they are going to do anything they can to screw the people who are screwing them.

Isn't gas/fuel/oil more controlled by crude on the world market supply and demand? According to this 1 year ago it was $114 and $61 today barrel. I don't like gas prices but we been through this before...

How much tax per liter? Here in Pennsylvania we pay federal 18.4, state 58.7 cents per gallon. Total is 77.1

[QUOTE=Eddienel;4777948] Maybe I should buy stock in Western Union because illegals send most of their earnings back to Mexico.

Income derived from Mexican national’s working in the US is a significant component of the Mexican economy. I’ve been using the h2a visa farm workers for the last 10 yrs and they send it all home except food $$. The 30 yrs prior I worked domestic illegals who would send some $$ back but their gimmick was/is to buy a house for cash and smuggle in 15-20 family members from Oaxaca.
Back to the gas, maybe I’m missing something but is there some high tech aspect to the wind/solar sector? Historically haven’t all major industrial advancements occurred because of technological breakthroughs. Seems like trying to do fine engraving with a chisel and a hammer when it takes 30+ acres of solar panels to provide elec for 1000 homes and that doesn’t include industrial power it takes to stock those homes with appliances, furniture, etc.

Thats specifically what I hate about fuel price and fuel tax. The Democratic party is supposedly for the little guy, fuel cost is one of the things that makes a huge impact on the little guy IMHO.

I dont ever notice fuel prices or the charge on my card but I do remember maxing out gas pumps at $75 and only have 2/3 of a tank.... I noticed that!

But hey, if people make $15 an hour it wont matter! (sarcasm)

Not a surprise--most of the refineries and fracking operations shut down in Texas due to the cold.

This is NOT why prices are up.
