:-} That it is.

BTW, Americans currently use about 320 billion gallons of petro per year. That comes out to a 128 billion dollar tax increase per year on Americas producers or a 1 trillion 128 billion taxe increase on the low side for the decade after the tax is enacted.

Nice stimulus package!

You number is too large. The US used approximately 9.3 million barrels per day in the past year. That equals 143 billion gallons per year ( 9.3M x 42 x 365 )
