In a different post some one said that it would hurt the gas company’s if we did one day with out buying gas. Will if the prices keep going up like they are then I think that day will be happening but not just a day it would be like a week. Some people that live from pay check to pay check are going to run out of gas money and if they don’t have money to put gas in there cars then they will have to park them and find another way to work. I know that even if the price keeps going up then people will suck it up and pay it but some people can’t do that for to long. It is starting to get colder and people soon will have to turn on there heaters at night to stay warm but that takes gas to and want is that bill going to end up to be for that.

If I only had the time/money I'd make some bio-diesel to sell to you guys. I'd charge about .50 cents per gallon less than the local gas stations. dang I need to talk to wifey about this........

Quit your whining and buck up!!!!!!! Who cares, EVERYTHING WILL HAVE A PRICE INCREASE. Sucks being us maybe we should move to Iraq gas is .05 cents a gal.

Isn't that a weeks wages over there though?

I dont believe it would hurt them to not buy the gas for a day. Although, if we didn't drive for a day, that might be felt.

If you still continue to drive whether or not you purchase the day of, you still use the same amount of fuel. I may be wrong on this, so please feel free to let me know.

My dad would be clear, since his diesel operated rigs are never on teh roads. Unless he's moving them from field to field or back to the shop for repair... So he already doesn't pay taxes for that reason. But it just seems like it would be illegal somewhere because the taxes are what pays for the roads - no taxes means higher taxes elsewhere. I guess I just can't believe the government hasn't stepped in yet....

The Utah legislature has been considering taxing by the mile using gps. A year ago I read about it and sent a letter to the legislator Sheldon Kilpack who had the brilliant idea to tax by the mile. My letter said that it was a bad idea and included several other tax methods, mostly a flat tax. Here is his reply.

"If vehicles no longer use petroleum and there is a wide array of fuel
types, how do you suggest roads will be funded? The very basics of a
strong and vibrant economy is solid infrastructure for transportation to
move goods and people.

1. This tax is not an additional tax. It is a tax in leu of a gas tax.

2. We are looking at several ways to fund transportation. This is one
of several and only one that the press chose to cover.

3. No one is suggesting implementing this tax in the near future.
Oregon is running a pilot program we are interested in seeing the
results of.

I appreciate your input and hope you understand we are looking at
several ways to fund transportation as the gas tax is proving very
inefficient. The future of transportation will definitely be different
than it is today and we need to look ahead so we aren't accused of being
short sighted.

That's because the Pony Express hasn't delivered the news about New Orleans to Eureka yet. Shhh... don't tell 'em!
