You know who makes the biggest profits on a gallon of gas? Government. Government makes about 50 cents a gallon (it varies by state). 50 cents on zero investment figures to be an infinite profit. Government doesn’t have to explore for petroleum. It doesn’t have to extract it. It doesn’t refine it or transport it or sell it. It just has to sit back and let the profits roll in.

How much whing happened when the Feds got the use of cigarettes to drop?

“We need more money!!! We are not making the taxses anymore on cigarettes”!!!!!

The same thing will happen with this, but I think there have always been more drivers than smokers.
