So sometime this week, after my last fill-up at 3.91 per gallon, I notice that that magical $4 mark was no longer the rare price for regular, but the most common. Most of the week saw $3.99 then Friday, BINGO! $4.05 a gallon began showing up everywhere...shades of summer 2008, are we destine to see higher prices this summer??
I have seen many commentators on TV saying $5 a gallon regular may become normal in the next few months.
And there is talk by the Congressional Budget Office to tax us on how much we drive IN ADDITION to the gas taxes we pay, because as more and more people drive more efficient cars, they buy less gas(which I thought was the point) so the government needs to tax something else to make up for the gas taxes they aren't getting....
go figure huh?
ReplyDeleteGreed! Just plain damn heartless greed!
ReplyDeleteMost of the price of fuel over here goes to the government.
