....as long as you realize that what taxes you are not collecting on
gasoline, you are ultimately collecting somewhere else, so you end up paying
for it anyway, one way or another.


One estimate has 12.5 billion in annual subsidies to petroleum companies
(and that's back in 1998). That is coming from somewhere.

The problem here is that we are continuing to pay those 'hidden' expenses and taxes while also paying the ever
increasing costs of the gasolene. The prices are being driven by speculators, not by true demand, and the profits are
exorbitant.

China and India tripling and quadrupling their consumption is not a "true
demand"?

Insignificant at this point and not enough to justify the price of gasoline doubling in the last 2 1/2 years. USA is
