Don't forget too that not only gasoline gets made from the crude oil...At the different stages of refinery, we get the things like gasoline,diesel, kerosene home heating oil and ahhh..get this...highway emulsion for blacktop...you would be suprised how much emulsion is used to make a ton of asphalt. I use to haul it in tankers for them. Asphalt.. the kind PennDot here in Pa dumps over the hill at the end of the day because they didn't get it all down...down in what?...They sure don't use it to patch potholes...lol...I just spent well over $1000 for front end repair on my truck due to bad roads..they pave roads and next year take them back up and do them over...WASTE...and with this waste going on, I don't see any need for me to ration my needs..The governor just gave tax relief on gasoline in the southern states and that is what is needed here in Pa and all the rest of the states inc Canada..Our great governor Randell just imposed an added few cents per gallon to give (transportation) to the people that ride busses and I let him hear about that too...We that pay at the pumps and the initial cost of a vehicle, + cost of insurance ( because everyone finds a lawyer and sues)..which by the way is why we can't afford medical insurance either...have the cost of inspections..( I have to have emmission sticker at $50 while just 6 miles from here all around they need one...the cost of vehicle repairs as stated above and they NEED to tax us at the pump so someone with no vehicle can ride the bus....they did this because they didn't want to raise the cost of bus fare....we at the pumps pay for everything in taxes....contact the reps and let them cut some of the taxes.......if that is the only solution because as they lead us to believe the problem lies in the cost of crude oil....NOT.
