You must live in a conservative area, otherwize you'd have about 20 or 30 cents more in taxes. The Dems just think we don't pay enough for gasoline. They think it's not faaair that we are not on par with their beloved Wooooooorld.<br />(see poor ole 62-kiwi) Of course, you know, it's ok for the Dems to raise the snot out of the taxes but let the free market increase the price and listen to em squeal like stuck pigs.Originally posted by RetNav:<br /> Here at Wally World the sign price is 1.54 then they give you a .05 discount for a pump price of 1.49. Now how good is that.
<br /><br />Scary, huh?
So I am not the only one who has noticed that??<br /><br />Who woulda thunk I would be happy to see $1.75 or so for a gallon of gas?<br />I remember my parents filling up the car at $0.25 a gallon.Originally posted by JB:<br /> Hmmmm.

It would start a consumer revolt!"<br /><br />Ex: "Well, let's wait for some sort of bump in oil prices or a hurricane or two. Then we raise it to two bux, wait a few months, REDUCE it to a buck fifty and nobody will complain. VIOLA!, We get our buck fifty with no pain."<br /><br />BC: "That'll work."

<br /><br />Sorry - rant over (phew!). From my perspective, when it comes to gas prices, you guys in the USA have it lucky - you're only paying half price! 
62_, the only lucky part is that we have been more successfull at holding the American Libs at bay. If they had their way, we'd have been in the same boat you are, decades ago. They are continously whining that it is unfaaaaaaaaair that we pay less than the rest of the World. In other words, let us (the Libs) collect the difference in taxes.Originally posted by 62_Kiwi:<br /> Sorry - rant over (phew!).
