Gas prices

[johnr]

I was trying to come up with an estimate for what it will cost schools, emergency crews , state fleet and city / county crews per year on extra fuel prices but it's all broken down separately . Add them all up and it's a lot money.

Throw in some free school lunches for everyone, now think of the bills that we will be supporting.

Ethanol sucks! It's terrible on small engines, bad mileage on gasoline vehicles, attracks water, etc.
It's another program the government put together to give EVEN MORE HELP TO THE FARMERS!
(corn)!! How often does the govn. help the small mom & pop businesspeople--NONE!!

Dad and one of his buddies played around with E85 when it first started coming out. You want to talk about something that can F' Up carburetors and engines not designed for E85, WOW. Had a 1932 John Deere D that went from running great to dog snot till we flushed EVERYTHING including the tank then back to tuning carb and magneto

The ones laughing and defending this reckless mess we have on our hands must not be able to see the whole equation. We are being played like a fiddle and the business man flat out says that he doesn't care about American's financial situation. His war department is a family orientated get rich quick scheme based on Iran's weapons of mass destruction that don't exist
Throw in the fact that this new COL will be the turning point for a % of people who have barely been making it from paycheck to paycheck. They will get on the system and be a liability rather than an asset.

Both stations at the middle exit of Valley City must've gotten deliveries between 2:00 and 4:00 yesterday afternoon. Both shot up 30 cents sometime between there. They certainly didn't both jump just to make more money.

Gottt damn I'd love to see your definition of a mess when bidum and his crooked cronies were in control. That nightmare just always conveniently gets kept under the vest though.. Queue the old fiddler playing emoji.
Pretty sure trump isn't worried about this so-called getting rich quick scheme that you speak of
Watch out with the annual summer holiday gas price hikes coming, you'll swear the sky is really falling even more suppose.. Oof

If you find another way to fund the infrastructure we travel on, I’m all ears. The fact is we can’t be anti tax with everything and this is as close to a true user pay system as any tax we pay. Drive more = pay more. It’s not perfect, but actually likely should be raised as the federal Highway Trust Fund isn’t covering the costs of infrastructure upkeep. Why? The federal gas tax hasn’t increased since 1993. We’re deficit spending to cover the costs now. The system is really broken but like most services that come with taxes, everyone bitches when they are poor or go away, but still bitch about the tax beforehand.

Oh I'm fine with it but we are taxed for the gas, we are taxed for vehicles, we are taxed for property, which are all supposedly going to the same purpose. When is enough enough???
