The price of fuel tax remains the same or has risen Demand is down, car owners are driving less due to bad economy and high fuel prices.. Someone do the math on all that... Ja, and here, they could not pass the 10¢ raise in gas/dissel tax, so the speaker (socialist=R) canned 2 people of the committee who rightly opposed the tax, put himself on the committee along with a yes man, passed the dead bill out of committee, rammed it through the (socialist) house, got a quick rubber stamp in the (marxist) senate, and the (socialist) goobernator's autograph all before anyone knew the legislature was open fer biz. And not a normal bill, implemented the following July 1, but an emergency bill that went into effect within a week.

Re: [MBZ] $2.239
There you go. Problem solved. To much cheap oil, just shut down a refinery for a few months... EPA has not allowed a new refinery to be built in over 25 years anywhere in the USA. Existing refinery capacity is limited by antiquated equipment which has been patched together repeatedly while trying to meet ever more stringent EPA regulations. A new refinery, built from scratch would use more efficient component parts, built to latest EPA standards, however, EPA will not permit new construction, along with various environmental groups protesting. Thus... we are refinery limited, which drives up the cost per gallon. Better living through government regulation, yet again.
