What the jackasses keep forgeting is
ITS OUR OIL...drilled on american soil.
Then exploited by big oil to make a profit
at some out of thin air world market price.

Newest one that passed last night "storm drainage tax" $100 a year for storm drains. All I can say is I dodged that one we are exempted from that since our township doesn't have storm drains we have creeks and rivers that our run off goes to....

This may be a little off subject, but goes with the gas tax issue. Tonight when I was out with my son Jacob. We passed a gas station and asked me why gas is listed with a partial penny amount. I honestly don't know, do you know why we are charged $3.299 for a gallon of gas ? Why don't they just make it $3.30 ?

I always thought it was just a way for them to charge more, as the average person will ignore the decimal and think it is 2.99 instead of just shy of 3.00.

It's always been that way but years ago that last 9 was real real small. So like Tony said you only see the $2.99 not $2.99.9. Same reason items in stores are never rounded up to a whole dollar, it's $199.99 instead of $200. People ignore the cents so it looks cheaper. Anyway current law here says that last 9 on gas prices must be at least 1/2 the size of the other numbers.

If the price of gas is $3.16.9 do you see $3.17 or $3.16?
