The neat thing...because of the tax structure...we are paying more on gas taxes now, than we ever did before.

I wonder how the blowhards are feeeeeling right now after bashing bush for eight years
over his so-called cronyism and paying off his big oil buddies.
They all deserve a punch in the nose from Tony the Tiger.

It is more than that for my wife and me!

Just for grins, I looked up my personal records on this.

2009: Spent $1,623
      Drove 12,991 miles
      First fillup, Jan 11, gas cost 1.329/gal
      Last fillup,  Dec 26, Gas cost 2.459/gal

2012: Spent $2,193
      Drove 11,222 miles
      First fillup, Jan 04, gas cost 3.009/gal
      Last fillup,  Dec 18, Gas cost 2.909/gal

FWIW, I lived both these years in South Carolina which has one of the lowest state tax on gasoline.

I’d think this pales in comparison to the additional money it costs to feed a family now over the course of a year.

[who knows what evil?]

Wonder how much more Americans are spending on blood pressure medication with Zero in the Mulatto Hut?

Gasoline prices rose nearly 180% under Bush until they crashed during the world economic crisis, a crisis that Bush apparently did nothing to head off.

[4yearlurker]

When Bush was in office the local news called it ‘The Oil Crisis” when reporting the price of gas,with kettle drums banging in the background. Now it’s called the “AAA Report” and all is smiles. *sigh*

[Paladin2]

Turns out that I spend more on Diesel.

[hadaclueonce]

wonder how much the pro obammy voters spent driving to their post office to pick up their free phones?

next year, the will be able to deduct the mileage.

[American Quilter]

I’m actually spending a lot less on gas than I did in 2009, because Obama eliminated my entire branch at the Missile Defense Agency at the end of 2011 and now I drive a lot less.

[dhs12345]

But he is a cool guy and black and I’d vote for him again.

Signed, uninformed voter.

PS. Hey, why is gasoline so much more expensive. And BTW, why did my taxes go up? I am confused. I know — those evil oil companies and the Republicans. Oh wait, its Bush’s fault, too.

[Secret Agent Man]

if only bush was out of the white house, we could fix these gas prices....

[Intolerant in NJ]

Today, Americans are spending $900 more annually on gas than they did in 2009...wife spent this Saturday afternoon sympathizing with our niece who was literally sobbing about how badly her finances had deteriorated since the first of the year - now paying twice as much to drive to work for both her and her husband due to higher gas prices, and trying to adjust to the two percent cut in their takehome pay from the Payroll Tax along with hikes in their medical insurance and pension contributions - but all we get from Obama is whining and wailing because the government's funds are likely to be cut by two percent - let the politicians learn what it's like to tighten their belts like the little people do all the time......

- How much did Jet-X fuel did it cost to get Moochelle’s “wide body” up to cruising altitude when she traveled alone up to Cape Cod?

[Slyfox]

Just for fun, tell a liberal that the price of gasoline has doubled since Obama took office in 2008.

They will say you are wrong, so you google it for them.
