In Germany 2,21 EUR/Liter (100LL)
Makes about 12 USDollar/Gal Why do you complain? Curt Bluntly and succinctly put, Curt, we complain because we don't want to end up like Germany. The first step toward correcting a problem is recognizing that it exists. What you call "complaining" we call "constructive criticism"... ;-) Taxing an activity until it becomes nearly impossible, as your government has done to flying, has traditionally been verboten in America. Unfortunately, the anti-smoking crowd has paved the way for a whole new series of "social engineering through taxation" measures that threaten many aspects of American life -- not just flying. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Well... you shouldn't be flying anyway Jay, it's too dangerous, you might get hurt, and besides its causing global warming which will destroy the planet and we are all going to die. You could put your eye out. |

I am thankful that you are paying my government to look out for me. Heck, just look at all they've done for me! They've convinced me to quit smoking (21 years and counting), prevented me from buying an electric car, incented me to shop outside of my local area, and made it incredibly difficult to own a small business. What more could I ask? :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay, I think you've picked on the wrong 'crowd' . The 'crowd' responsible
for high fuel prices has been blocking conservation measures like higher CAFE standards that would have helped the demand side of the supply/demand cost equation. The same crowd gets a lot of their personal wealth from high fuel prices. -- Best Regards, Mike http://photoshow.comcast.net/mikenoel "Jay Honeck" wrote in message ...

"Mike Noel" wrote in message . .. Jay, I think you've picked on the wrong 'crowd' .

And would kill several thousand. But, hey...what's a few thousand kids, huh? The same crowd gets a lot of their personal wealth from high fuel prices. And the other crowd gets a lot of their wealth by mooching as crisis mongers and group-think pimps. How about the groups that derives $BILLIONS for environuts, that keep production down to 1970's levels... Nah, can't have people living their own lives when the jackbooted thugs comes marching under an environmental banner. Scum bags. |
