New Interesting, if true
Those greedy oil vultures are ripping you off. But they aren't the only ones. They aren't even the worst.

New possibly true, you have federal state county city tax
on gasoline products. Then you have a sales tax, in georgia that is 7% of the sale so if I buy 10 gallons at $3 per gallon the sales tax on that gas is $70 cents. This is on top of all the other taxes. The one month hiatus on the gas tax here cost the state government 75 million dollars.
thanx,
bill

New Just goes to show you
you want to net some gross profits, go into banking or software... into oligopoly or monopoly.

Big shocker.

His laugh sounds like a balloon deflating into the face of a man who is throwing up and singing at the same time. It is the worst.
