Default Cost of gas is beginning to hurt


Oil Companies have averaged 12-15 cents profit on each gallon; government,

state and federal, gets 24 cents up to 60 cents for doing absolutly NOTHING
by signing papers.

Really? I thought that building and maintaining roads and bridges was
something, not nothing. Isn't the auto fuel tax used to fund highway
and road construction? Maybe I am mistaken.

By the same reasoning, the FAA does nothing for the tax they collect
on avgas. Is that correct?
