recent headline said Gas taxes in past 20 years = 1.2 trillion dollars, more than the profits of all oil companies combined during same period.

PS if gas taxes equal 1.2 trillion did we see all of that money spent on transportation? Lately people have complained about 250 billion dollar program covering next 5 years. that sounds like numbers = to gas tax, so was the transportation bill really pork or finally spending the people's money?

That's just on the Federal level... don't forget about the State Taxes that will also be added into the price. Yikes!!
