I wouldn't mind paying taxes on fuel IF they would dedicate it exclusively to improving the ROADS!!! And I hope that anyone that is against drilling has to pay double!


Scattershot,
It is a little more complicated than that. Crude Oil comes out of the ground at a lot of different gravities. One of the issues with diesel is that there isn't as much of the type of crude oil it is made from being produced as there used to be and the result is supply vs demand kicks in.


I think you will find that truckers are not at all happy about high diesel prices. While they may be able to eventually pass some of the cost on they usually end up eating a lot of it, especially short term or if it is particularly high in certain areas of the country.


What nearly everyone including oil companies (exception for the folks with an environmental agenda) would like to see is stable fuel prices that you could reliably base your business model on!
