Default Cost of gas is beginning to hurt


wrote in message
oups.com...

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?


Very little...that's why they estimate our federtal infrastructure is "going
to hell". Mostly it goes to pork projects for connected pols and their
buddies.

Maybe I am mistaken.


More than half of fuel taxes wind up in the general fund, both federally and
in most states.

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


Nope.

Read the thread, then get a clue.
