It is true, the stations name was "Race Track" on 1941 in Jonesboro Ga.
Yesterday it was $1 a gal and Diesel was one dollar eighty five. The other stations are $1.39 to $129 ! I haven't been out today so not sure what the prices are.

I am calling to find out how much propane is. I think I will fill the propane tank up NOW ! I need a 100 gals LOL hope its down.

Yep - the leadership on Capitol Hill is quietly talking about moving quickly while the prices are low so we don't notice it - before the effects of OPEC's emergency meeting next week in Cairo hit us here.

If you don't already know, look at OPEC and your view of oil prices may change - a lot. Don't blame me, I work for the largest solar energy provider in North America!

Oil has dropped to a 3-4 year low, and the bigger oil producing nations just aren't going to let it stay there long. Why should they - they have us by the throat. We'll just keep buying it anway - we've proven that. I see no reason why we won't see $5.00-$6.00 gas on this next upswing. I like Kisinger's idea of how to handle it. Remember what Aramco stands for.

Oh, I paid $1.689 to fill up my wife's car this morning.

What are your Federal/State/County/Municipal/Optional taxes? I'll bet if you know those number, you will get it.

I was shocked when I dug up those numbers for California when I lived there until June. I have no idea what they are here in Texas - yet.......

NO! I DON'T WANT THIS TO GO DEM VS. REPUB! It's about us - the taxpayer at the pump. I know you don't drive, Sir Charles, but you research.

There are other costs that are a much more huge determinant than taxes. Comparing the highest with the lowest state and federal taxes on gas:

Quote:

Fuel taxes

California vs Alaska, July 25, 2007 cents per gallon

State gas excise tax: CA: 18 AK: 8

Other state taxes (general sales tax, average county/local sales tax, environmental fees, wholesale taxes): CA 26.4 (7.25% + 1.2) AK: 0

State tax total: CA: 44.4 AK: 8

State + federal tax total: CA: 62.8 AK: 26.4

Alaska's taxes are 36 cents less per gallon than in California. However, the average price of gas in Alaska is 70 cents higher than California. It appears there is a difference to account of over a dollar per gallon (36 cents less tax, 70 cents higher in price) that is not related to taxes.

And the biggest indeterminate is how much the congress will take advantage of the low prices and bust your ass with the levy to come just after January 20th. Your wealth will be redistributed! Angry

I was wondering, with the price of gas perhaps expected to rebound a few dollars per gallon in the future to come, why is the present few cents that are possible in taxes the biggest indeterminant that will be taken from me?
Presently it appears fed tax is 18.4 cents. Going up couple pennies is much more concerning than the price raising a few dollars a gallon when it comes to my wallet? Which is busting my @ss?

Asking out of curiosity.

Reply #148 - Nov 20^th, 2008 at 8:30pm So there is no present answer to why the giving up of a couple pennies per gallon exceeds or busts my @ss compared to payment of several dollars per gallon in time to come? Distribution of wealth to OPEC is a kind of redistribution, too.

What is your point, that taxes are ok but that supply and demand fluctuations are the norm? I’m just saying that the government (state and federal) will be increasing the tax and you as well as I will be paying it. Did I somehow get the situation wrong?
