Re: RC: FW: THE GREAT "GAS OUT"

[Teddy Lancaster <Teddy@runningbear.com>]

Yeah...and I LIVE in Ashland Oil (Marathon) country...we are luckier than you...a
week ago in Ohio Diesel was 106.9  now it is 112.9...2 miles away across the river
in kentucky, the SAME company charges 1.09.9 for diesel.  Last weekend I paid 87.9
in Virginia...last month 78.9 in Georgia.

Rates do vary from state to state due to state fuel taxes.  But WHAT a
difference.  To make up for it, since I drive a big truck and have to have fuel
stickers (instead of the overpriced permits) and keep track of how many miles I
drive in each state and how much fuel I buy in each state.  Quarterly, I spend two
to three hours figuring all this out and compsensating those states I did NOT buy
fuel in and pay surcharges to many.

Yes, it is time for a revolt...and not just on fuel.....my insurance premium went
considerably higher (liability) and I have a CLEAN record.

We are being over-regulated, over-taxed and over-controlled.

You won't get enough people to stop buying fuel, even for ONE day, but you sure
will get results by writing your state and federal congressmen (and getting
everyone you know to do the same.)

I think it may be time to buy locks for my fuel tanks again.........
