Just wait until they jack up the fuel tax to $0.70 a gallon and then
listen to the complaints! There will be a lot more planes parked on
the ramp and fewer in the air once this tax increase goes through.

If this tax does go through, expect the number of unfilled Angel

sharply
increase.

Saudi Arabia must have some nice GA fields funded by the "tax" they
impose on us.

Tax??? It's their oil and I suppose in a free market you can charge what
you like -

The open market determines the price and that's where everyone sells.

when you use more the price goes up and when you use less the price goes
down.

Supply is the big determination, and the demand part is being outstripped
by China and India.

Start using less.

Start producing more. Something like 75% of US capacity is "off limits"
thanks to Congress (who will always have all THEY need).


It is the oil companies that are doing the stiffing.

Bull **** in spades.

Oil Companies have averaged 12-15 cents profit on each gallon; government,
state and federal, gets 24 cents up to 60 cents for doing absolutly
NOTHING by signing papers.


You are utterly and totally clueless.

redneck ****!
