Yeah the gov't is part of the problem - nearly half of the $2.50/gal I pay (out by Lawrenceville - where might you be? PM me, sandbar...) is TAXES.

Yes, folks: half of your gasoline bill is TAXES.
Why aren't we hearing an outcry to that effect?

Okay, the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents a gallon. Georgia state gas tax (the lowest in the country) is 7.5 cents a gallon, plus 4%--another 10 cents. What taxes are making up the other $1.14 to be half the price of a gallon of gas?
