Man i hope so, gouverments are cashing in way too much with this. I "kinda" undertstand oil company's they are there to make money. But the goverment is "suppose" to protect us..

So I'm crossing my fingers,toes and balls

a) the US government is all about making money and spending it on their friends. Where do your gas $$$ go anyways? You pay for your highways through tolls for the most part. Plus, the tax you are paying now in NY is closer to $.50 from what I saw on a few sites.

b)In Canada gas tax is supposed to go towards fixing roads, etc. In Toronto the roads are balls right now. so I'm not sure where the money is going to come from without a gas tax.

I'm all for cheaper gas, but the government (at least in Canada) needs that money to repair roads and put up signage, lights, paint, etc.

God if you think your roads are bad try comming to montreal, if you dont have an SUV your looking at a craked rim per year at least.

Unless TO's roads got really bad since last time i was there.

well they just increased the tolls like crazy in NY...

here is something that i do not understand. maybe someone can enlighten me....

how are oil companies making record profits? If their costs went up and therefore the price of gas at the pump went up to offset their cost increases, shouldnt they be making the same profits as they did when oil was $50 a barrel and $1.50 a gallon at the pump?

so if oil is now $120 a barrel and $4 a gallon at the pump...

i dont get it....
