Math may not be your strong suit, but you should realize that there is a

difference between 18.4 cents (the actual Federal gas tax per gallon), and

18.4 per cent (your made up tax rate to show us how evil the president is).

Hope this helps, and doesn't hurt your head too much.

Ya'll do realize that the Federal Guv'ment makes more than the Oil Bad

Companies Evil do?

It is actually in Barry's best interest to have prices go up, because

with the Fed getting 18.40% on gas and 24.40 on Diesel, every dollar the

price goes up means another ~20 cents per gallon....$15 to the Fed for a

$75 tank of gas. Sweet racket!
