Woody Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 AND GET CHEAPER GAS .... PTL ... He is proposing dropping the Fed. Gas Tax for the summer. This would lessen the price of gas by around 20 cents a gallon. Good Man ... Good Ideas. Vote McCain ... The Man for the Future .... Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Moderators Bravus Posted April 15, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2008 $0.184 per gallon x 42 gallons per barrel x 117,000 barrels per day x say 100 days for the summer = just over 90 million dollars Quote Truth is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 But the benefits would be great because it would promote a general good feeling and stimulate the economy. Good Plan !! Reagan did a similar thing. He built up confidence and pride in our country. A good thing. We need to feel good about ourselves and think we are getting a good deal. Patroitism.

Then let's get off the petrol and onto diesel, wind power, hydrogen power...Let's reduce our petrol imports by 50% . Let's encourage the ecomony with new technology and reduce major institutions into major industries. Let's encourage manufacturing back in the US.... And you think that $0.18/gallon is gonna make us feel good??? Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

CyberGuy Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 $0.184 per gallon x 42 gallons per barrel x 117,000 barrels per day x say 100 days for the summer = just over 90 million dollars In California we have about .50 cents a gallon federal and State tax. That is why the cost of fuel is so high here in California. It is approaching $4 a gallon already and we are not near summer yet.

Moderators Bravus Posted April 16, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah, that calculation is just on the federal tax, of which McCain would have his hands on the levers. Mind you, if it makes you feel any better, we have about 50 cents tax on fuel too - but it's per litre, not per gallon, making it about 4 times the level of yours.

Pockey Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 The gas tax goes to pay for road repairs, so we might save on gas, but might have to get a new tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
