They, as well as all retailers, get a "collection"fee, on the taxes they collect, and send to the govt, but it isn't much, I would think maybe it's gone up, since I closed my Outdoor Power Equipment business, but I think it's around .001%, so they do make a "profit" off the taxes. Bob!

A silver dollar would buy four gallons in 1964....today it would buy six gallons. The real whining begins when you can't find any fuel.

Wait till you see the gas prices after this weekend in California with that refinary on fire!! They just said they could go up 30 to 40 cents a gallon this week(in western states). It is kinda interesting watching all the people upset because the plant is smoking and they are not sure what the health affects will be.
They also compared states as to what the average person spends on gas compared to there income. Some states were as high as 15% of what they make a month going to fuel costs. Take that increase along with food prices and it makes me wonder how someone can sit there and scratch there head and say i wonder why people arnt racing or going to the races anymore.. |
