and let me add. I can't help what your government does with taxing gas nor mine for that fact but our government seems to see it fit to give away all our tax money that is collected to third world countries that do not give a crap about us, nor are they willing to help us in anything and have proven it in the war on terrorism and the gas price increase. No other country in the world gives away so much resources and money to other countries as the US.creeky wrote:What you dont understand is that approx 80% of our fuel costs , are all sorts of federal and state taxes - they figure its an easy way to get money - we all need petrol12vmanRick wrote:What you and the rest of the world outside the US doesn't understand is we have never paid the prices of the rest of the world because of all the help we give to foriegn countries.

I pay 1.13 a litre ..... times that by approx 4 to get a gallon price
Not quite... Fuel Taxes go into the Highway Trust Fund and get used to make the federal deficit look better than it really is..AlbatrossFlyer wrote:fuel taxes go into the highway trust fund to pay for more highways so we can drive even more, generating more taxes....12vmanRick wrote:What you and the rest of the world outside the US doesn't understand is we have never paid the prices of the rest of the world because of all the help we give to foriegn countries.

(and yeah, some building of roads)Ummm.. Side.. an Intrepid is not a full-sized car. A '64 Lincoln or a '76 Impala is a full-sized car. An Intrepid is a mid-size.Sidew13 wrote:Dodge IntrepidHsvParrothead wrote:$2.03 = $24.36 on a bone dry fill up... not too shabby

Anyway, I have a little Dodge Neon.. But I call her Nellie! I usually go about a week and a half on a tank of gas. I have no idea how many miles she gets. I'm a girl! I don't look into these things. All I know is to tell dad when she needs an oil change!
Sure don't! That's what fathers are for, right?RinglingRingling wrote:ummm.. dear...habourgirl wrote:I think it was like $2.17 when I filled up yesterday.

I am guessing you don't write down the mileage and the oil changes and the other servicing stops in a little book either...

I just know I need an oil change once a month. So it gets done when I need to get out of the house. Guess who doesn't get to ride shotgun/navigator with me..habourgirl wrote:Sure don't!

My car is a company car. Not my car; not my maintenance/insurance.
Yes, we can & will complain. It's human nature to. TYVMcreeky wrote:Dont think anyone in the USA can complain ....
