Not here, as of July 1st, step 1 of our AWESOME Democrat lead state governments plan of adding 42 cents of taxes by 2016, to every gallon of gas or diesel went into effect, so our prices jumped 4 cents yesterday...that and our brand new runoff tax for our roof's, driveways, and sidewalks bill came. The average house now has a $39 added tax per year for rainwater runoff... I love love love Maryland.

 

I can see the weasels now: "Yeah, the runoff comes from THEIR house roofs and THEIR driveways and it goes into OUR storm sewers...WE can tax them for it!" Unbelievable! There is room in Nevada and Texas, if you want to escape the darkside .

 

Oh, you don't know how much I want to Neal. These people are crazy over here. But then again, the same types are running the federal government too, so where can I hide really?

 

Agreed!!!!

 

Tulsa Oklahoma diesel is $3.46/gallon. Why it's still higher then gas is besides me considering the processing. I'm just happy is down .09 over the last two weeks!

 

Well here in N.E. Cal it was 3.85 at the Indian casino but a new tax rate went into effect yesterday ( .035 ) so not sure what it is today. Think the station absorbed it? NOT!!

 

Here in Billings it has been $3.85 for a long time. There has not been any adjustment at all. They want to blame farmers and the oil boom for using all the diesel in this area of the country.

 

Spoke too soon. Back at $3.49 this afternoon... :-(

 

Things keep moving in the direction it is...
The Republic may just very well go ahead and build that fence after all...
All the way around our national border...

 

$3.52 at RR HEB been holding steady for weeks

 

Let me if the plan goes into effect. I want in before they pulll the trigger on that deal.
