Default Fuel price this winter

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.

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, 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.

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.
