Bob you are correct! After spending the last 6 months driving the roads in NY, I'll stay right here. There literally is a "tire & rim" shop off almost every exit off the Van Wyke. Those are the guys getting rich. The pot holes out there could swallow a small car. And that's only in the 20min ride between East Elmhurst and Queens! As much as I hate not getting out in the winter, imagine what we'd be spending on gas if we could drive year round. I'd be broke if we lived on the West Coast. Hey, I'm just thankful I'm not fueling up every weekend this summer at a marina...:LOL: |

" In the past two months, the 7.53% tax has risen from roughly 19 cents a gallon to 23 cents "
" The Gross Receipts Tax is on top of the state gasoline excise tax of 25 cents a gallon and the federal excise tax of 18.4 cents a gallon. "

As with any single specific tax, if comparisons are made to other states , all the taxes need to be considered |

My original point was that you can't expect much help from the guys in Hartford when the increased price puts more money in the state's pockets. Personally, I don't care if it goes to $6.00 per gallon. It was wonderful driving to Stafford Springs today without the usual traffic nightmare coming home.
BTW - 16 ounce beers at the track were $6.00 and nobody complained. Gas (from 4 miles down) is 4.15 a gallon and everyone complains. Go figure!
