Can I get cash rather than the gas credit card, because I damn well will take whatever it is they are dishing out.

Hey. Open our pipeline.. Quit giving ukraine money. You will launder enough of it back to your own pockets. Then after your out of that mess start buying oil from Russia again until we are stocked up. Quit your war on fossil fuel and coal for a while.

If Republicans take the majority in November, can they force the Biden occupation to open the spigots?

Gas cards. That is the Left’s solution to everything. Create a crisis and then have the government dole out money to “fix” it. This is a joke.

What galls me is I have an old tractor which uses 93 octane gas and I can’t find it anywhere. Since I use it off road I cannot find any off road gas(untaxed) either.

The worst thing about the fuel taxes at both the State and Federal level, these funds have been diverted to a number of other programs which have nothing whatsoever to do with providing roads, bridges, or traffic signaling systems with necessary upkeep or replacement for the normal flow of vehicular traffic and allowing for future expansion.

Much of this revenue has been used in pandering and vote-buying schemes for a target demographic, without regard for the original purpose. Meanwhile, roads deteriorate, bridges collapse, and traffic snarls are endemic.

And besides, EVs do not pay into this fund anyway. Just another way they get subsidized.

Biden missed his big chance through dithering

Juneteenth could have been Gas Tax Emancipation day.

He’s not capable of helping white or Asian or Hispanic people.

All Biden can do is Kiss Black Ass

I’d be satisfied if they’d simply demand those taxes be spent
on highways and such.

Californians voted to raise taxes on gasoline sold in the
state, to help fund highways. Newsom diverted at least
part of the new funds to pet green projects.

Exactly. Due to the covid shutdowns, I got stimulus money in the mail. $4,000 or so. Then I got my tax bill. $3,500. So I used the 4K to pay the IRS and pocketed the rest.

Think of all the ineffiencies of that.

Any limited-time gas tax holiday will lead to *huge* lines for gas. What a waste of time :( . Biden is trying to outdo Carter across the board.

My little tractor is diesel and there’s no one around here that sells off road diesel. Not worried abut it because it’s a sub-compact with 3 cyl engine that sips fuel. I am half thinking about getting an old 82 to mid 90s Mercedes car with the 4 cyl diesel and running 85/15 WMO/Gas. WMO = Waste Motor Oil. WMO/Gas works better than waste veggie oil.

Requires some equipment including a centrifuge though. https://usfiltermaxx.com/en/content/9-make-black-diesel

Used motor oil can be had for free and if gas went to $10/gal, it would only be $1.50/gal to make black diesel. There were guys back when Obama was in and gas was about the same price as now and they were running it in their Powerstrokes

If it was $10/gal, it wouldn’t take too long for the ROI at $8.50/gal savings to pay for a $2500 centrifuge. 300 gallons or so. 15 tanks fulls for 20 gallon tank.

At the current $5/gal it would take 714 gallons or approx 36 tank fulls. Plus you need more than just the centrifuge. Pre-filters, tanks, jugs etc. Call it $3500-4000 which would probably take a couple of years for ROI.

Obviously, the _resident doesn't understand recession
nor how his free spending contributed to inflation and a resulting recession.
Just more of the same 'stinkin thinking'.
