That's mostly tax. It turns out greed and misspent funds are a magnetic pole for the moral compass of legislators.

$6.17 a gallon here and not “mostly tax”. It’s oil company greed and intentional malfeasance. But. If you don’t believe them that are they just the nicest guys and it’s all someone else’s fault, you’re just too angry to understand. Why do you think the oil companies need to claim you are angry and unstable instead of just standing on their own position?

Look at the garbage you’re being fed. It’s “temporary pain”. It’s about “replacement cost” when they want the gas in the pumps at your station to go up .50-.60 cents a gallon. It’s not about “replacement cost” when it takes gas 6 weeks to drop after crude dropping sharply.

It’s not a democrat or Republican issue. Fuel sky rockets under both. The common denominator is obscene profits that the oil companies are raking in right now. But, they will marginalize that and try to smoke show it to make it seem less.

This is what it looks like when the oil companies have no fear.

Diesel was $6.34 at the truck stop down the road this afternoon. Yow.
