It’s about time that Diesel becomes cheaper than gas again.
Shut down the entire EPA, and do us all a favor.
Better increase licensing taxes on non-”fossil fuel” cars then since they aren’t “paying their fare share” of road costs.
Hope they are all furloughed.
Sweet!
An interesting alternative for achieving Liberty: just shut it down and keep it shut down. Beats secession.
I think that’s the real reason why dear leader, dingy hairy, the LSM and the rest of the kakistocrats have been having such a meltdown over the shutdownapocalypse: not because of what it would do, but because of their that people would decide that they liked it more this way.
all this because of the global warming hoax and the fact that the government, the EPA and obama are tyrannical , unaccountable idiots
What a shame. And I was so looking forward to the pain and suffering of ordinary Americansas the economy slows. Next they’ll be failing to collect delinquent taxes, and then what will we all do?/sarc
REMEMBER....THIS IS OBAMA’S EPA..
we need a president who will trash this EPA and drill here and drill now...
That’s an agency which should be permanently cut back to 7% of its current employees, and about 5% of its current budget.
I didn’t even know this was coming. If there are not pitchforks and tar in the streets if this happens, I give up.
Most of your gas prices per gallon are taxes for the government.
This is a real good news story about unintended consequences. Perhaps what we should be doing is sending a whole lot of THANK YOU’s to the House and Senate for the shut down?
When our company was looking to expand and buy the land behind us (an old gas station that vacated for 6-7 years), we were told that we would have to pay for all the soil to be cleaned, the tanks to be removed, and there was no money left in the superfund. The cost would have been about 2.5 million dollars. We explained that we would use the tanks for our fleet of trucks, remove the abandoned gas station building, beautify the area, and invest a few hundred thousand dollars in making sure the tanks were not leaking. (by the way, the land was selling for about 20k, where similar acreage (2 acres in our area was going for about 180k).
No dice. The EPA set their price.
This gas station still sits empty, while others have sprung up around it. Cheaper to build a new one, than pay to clean up an old on.
It’s a sad state we live in.

Regulations like these are for purposes such as coddling Iowa because of the caucus date. The UAW likes them too, because it forces people to buy new equipment. But they also kill rural Americans economically. For example, I have a 1969 Dodge Power Wagon I drive no more than 500 miles per year, 90% of it on dirt. I use it for thinning forests, repairing historic erosion problems, dock-loading materials and the like. It has a PTO driven dump flatbed, with stakes, multiple sets of boards, a 20' rack, and a crane. It would cost me over $50,000 to update that truck to handle the new gas.
Let’s hope the EPA is permanently shut down!
Keep it shut down.
