Six Democratic governors — five of whom are up for re-election in November — have urged Congress to adopt legislation suspending the federal gas tax until next year as prices at the pump hit record highs after President Biden ordered a ban on importing Russian oil.

The six governors — Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Jared Polis of Colorado, Tim Waltz of Minnesota, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, and Tony Evers of Wisconsin — noted in a letter to House and Senate leadership Tuesday that the average price of a gallon of gas had hit $4.173 that day, surpassing the previous high from the summer of 2008.

Meanwhile Idiot Gov. Newsome and the Democrats continue to raise State Gas Taxes...the highest in the nation as our prices hover around $5.69 per gallon. Newsome is a stooge and I am convinced beat back the recall with fraud. Same old Same old for a 1 party State.

I’ve often heard, that gas station operators make between 5 and 10 cents a gallon gross profit, regardless of what the retail price of gas is. Measure that 10 cents vs. the various taxes, government make a lot more for doing nothing and collecting tax, than do the people who actually are in the business of selling gasoline.

I read that the ‘Big Oil’ makes somewhere between 25-35 cents /gal.
The big winners in gasoline sales are the various government.
