Wanna feel better about your US taxes? Check this site, look for the personal income tax comparisons they do between the US and Canada.

This is from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

“From 1995 to 2003, Ottawa’s annual GST haul from gasoline sales increased from $855-million to $1.178-billion due to higher gas prices since GST is charged as a component of total pump price,” said Williamson. “GST is even charged on fuel taxes. Coupled with rising fuel taxes, motorists are getting hosed at the pumps like never before.”

Big Government continues to dig deep into the pockets of motorists:
“On average, 42 per cent of the price of a liter of fuel is taxes,” stated CTF federal director John Williamson. “Ottawa collects almost $4.7-billion in annual gas taxes but returns less than 3 per cent or $135-million for road construction and highway development.”

“Even if we generously factor in everything Ottawa loosely calls infrastructure, things like canoe museums and bocce ball courts, the Liberal government returns less than 10 per cent of what it has collected at the pumps in the last decade,” added Williamson. “This kind of profit margin makes the Big Oil industry look like a corner store operation by comparison.”

I don't feel so bad now, regular is running from 1.77 to 1.89 in the Triangle area of NC, depending on where you're at.

The killer for me is filiing the family "car", Moby Van, the great white truck. Last fill-up was $50.00! [xx(]

Try filling the family "boat". Your talking about a 75 gallon tank and about 0.35 to 0.50 added to the cost of car gas.[:0] But the fun factor, just like the Cruisers, is there.

I also think that the reason Piant comes down to Florida on vacation is that he is thinking about escapeing Canada and sneeking across the border.[8D]
