Is this why I paid $1.98 a gallon today?
Here in New York, gas is $2.95/gallon. Yes, we have leftist social-engineering schemes here too
Good for you Dude!
Paying $3.40 at Costco here in San Diego. More elsewhere!
I don’t understand why they claim “big business” benefits. Higher gas prices hurts everybody and the only “winner” is big government.
Cry me a river. $1.349/liter CDN for regular.
That works out to $3.84 USD/USG.
Who gets rich with higher taxes at the pump? Big Business?
Gas in Chicago has dropped by at least 40 cents per within the last two weeks.
Any effect from France would be with a lag. But when it kicked in the higher tax will cause less gas to be used which would make the world market for oil have more supply than usual. Prices should drop given that scenario. Not much though.
$1.85 in San Antonio today. High test $2.35 a gallon. I love the price, but my energy stocks are in the trash.
Unbelievable, Canada has massive oil reserves. Gas should be 1.25 a Gallon. What have folks done to yourselves?
I disagree. It’s not about supporting big business.
It’s all and only about the fraud. The “scientists” playing at this know they’re lying through their teeth. Same for the politicals, wakademics and msm drones.
They know.
The whole point of AGW or Global Warming, or Climate Change is to steal as much money from the tax payers as possible *and* acquire more power through corruption and purposely false legislation.
There is nothing honorable involved at any level.
There is no one innocent involved at any level.
Such was always the case.
Lots of those involved are very good at deceiving themselves.
Federal tax, provincial tax, transmission tax, regional taxes, carbon tax.
Then, after all these taxes are rolled into the price of the fuel, we get to pay GST (General Sales Tax AKA Government Sanctioned Theft) and PST (Provincial Sales Tax) on the combined price at the pump.
The oil companies do all the discovery, development, movement, refining, and distribution of the oil and its products, and makes about $5/bbl after expenses.
The gov’t does NOTHING, and makes the most money. Kinda like tobacco, without as much manipulated stigma attached.
Our idiotic Governor, Jay “Macaroni for Brains” Inslee, (CPUSA-WA) tried to get similar carbon taxes passed in the state legislature. When that failed, his cronies tried using the initiative process this last election and that went down in flames as well. It would have increased taxes on fuel by 45 cents/gal the first year and 16 cent annual increases. No oversight board to review the “green” project initiatives that were to receive the funding either...
French love higher taxes... as long as they think other people are paying them. :)
Tell me about it, I’m long Halburton.
Everybody knows that higher prices and higher taxes can control the climate.
Think about it. The dinosaurs didn’t pay any taxes at all and see what happened to them!
It’s $3.79/gal at 76 in California
$1.98 here. Less if you use a Walmart gift card.
