You cannot simply compare fuel prices of other countries with those in America. The tax systems are different over there.

So it's grown more in the past 5 years than it did in the entire Clinton presidency and that is why we have record fuel prices??

Maybe we do need another lib in office to slow down the growth of the nation and keep prices low.



All in fun, j/k.

Look at the link I posted earlier to see the state tax of fuel. Texas has been consistent for as long as I have been paying attention.

Only 2 things in life are CERTAIN.......
The rest is true...no doubt...

Hold off on patting Clinton on the back...I believe he reaped the rewards of tax cuts put in place by Bush 1...From what I've seen, when ever tax increases/decreases are put in place by one administration, their effects usually arent felt until the next one takes office.

OOOPS!...Got another correction...just drove by a gas station with diesel at 3.56...Thaaaats gonna leave a mark! Wait a minute...

I luv my 250, I luv my 250, I luv my 250.......

Like Minnesota.

Sales tax and income tax. Now, the sales tax differs depending on the county and city because of the stupid hippie programs that politicians want. Then there are the wheelage tax. A tax based on where you primarily keep your vehicle. Silly MN.

New Zealand actually has a higher tax on diesel, then gasoline, yet their ULSD is STILL cheaper then regular gaslone there. Taxes wouldn't explain why diesel was cheaper 4 years ago

I think greed controls that,if you raise gas prices people tend to drive less,but that's not an option with diesel with everyone in the US depending somehow on it,so they can tax and gouge and it only hurts the consumer

Come to New York City - the Tax Capitol Of the USA.

We pay Federal Income Tax
We pay NY State Income Tax
We pay NY City Income Tax
We pay 8.375% Sales Tax
A two year registration on my F350 is $192
Diesel is 4+ dollars a gallon
And now our wonderful mayor wants to add a $21 a day surcharge if you drive into Manhattan.

I guess if they could figure a way to charge for the air, they would. Oh wait - they do - it's called an annual emissions inspection.
