There's a bill on the ballot here in Kalifornia to do just that, can't remember the number right off the bat, but it's for billions in new gas taxes and to fund some crack pot environmental think tank:fdance: accountable to nobody....:rant:

Re: WOW!!! Gas below $2
 
well hey...what better way to fund their stupid a$$ think tanks than to make all of us working folk pay for it...

I think in PA we pay about $0.50 a gallon in taxes....

heck it costs me a few grand a year just for the "priviledge" of having my business located in my town....WTF is up with that....

Could be worse you could live in Jersey where the gas is cheaper but the personal taxes are higher(except for big business)0.50 is real close to the tax we pay.

The reason prices have gone down (don't shoot the messenger) are:

1. Due to the end of the so called summer driving season.
2. The refinery conversion away from the more expensive summer blends.
3. The announcement of a huge reserve in the Gulf of Mexico.
4. Any other arbitrary thing the traders can think up.

One offshoot of all the domestic production that's occurred with the higher oil prices is that natural gas became cheaper. Of course the utility company I'm stuck with didn't buy contracts then, no they'll wait until the dead of winter and pass the high cost of gas using their stupid COG fee on my bill.

They say the past high prices were because China has been buying a lot of gas. Really? I haven't seen China buying gas at my local Quik Trip.
