what is the federal tax on a gallon of gasoline at the pumps?

Comparing Europe and the U.S. is like apples and oranges. The Europeans are paying north of $8 a gallon because they pay huge taxes which are then used to keep their roads and bridges in excellent condition and for mass transit. Have you driven I-70 between KC and St. Louis? A pot-hole hell death trap. They also, on average, drive vechicles that are much more fuel efficient.

Additionally, Europeans don't have ridiculous 60-75 mile daily commutes. Perhaps that's the problem - driving 25,000 miles a year to commute to ones job in a vehicle that gets 18 mpg. We Americans could be well served by taking a look at how things are done in other parts of the world instead of thinking we're going to continue our extraordinarily selfish gas-guzzling ways.

gas tax holiday-rubbish

So how happy is everyone going to be saving 18 cents a gallon this summer when gas is $4.00 a gallon or more?

I think everyone will be just as pissed off about gas as they are now. By the way, after it hits the magic $4.00 a gallon, it is going straight to $6.00, blowing right through $5.00. Six is where Europe is at, and that is where THEY want to take us!. There is a solution that big oil does not want to hear about. I use it on my car and it is great and has doubled my gas mileage!

Hillary Clinton "seems" to make sense about the idea of a temporary gas tax holiday for summer 2008, funded by the oil companies with a temporary windfall profits tax. But unless she has President Bush on board to sign such a thing (and I doubt she does), it's very unfair and insincere to ride a primary election wave on a "recommendation" that she knows will not be enacted.

McCain is NOT RIGHT about suspending the gas tax without a make-up of the revenue. Republicans have too long been buying votes with additions to the national debt. $4,000,000,000,000.00 worth in the "W" years alone.

Barack Obama is probably right to be endorsing neither, and for being both wise and honest, he gets blamed by both opponents. It's so hard to get a statesman elected when less genuine "politicians" have a 24-7 megaphone of media.

Gas tax

The gas tax rebate or whatever is nothing but political pandering at its WORST!
