18.4 cpg (Federal) + 20 cpg (State of Texas) = 38.4 cents per gallon
(some States are higher, believe it or not)

Figuring out where it all goes is the problem between the Federal Highway Trust fund and all points beyond...

maybe someone can find some breakdown, I am at a loss on where to look.:thinking:

ok, well, it's not as much as I thought, but that's still a much heftier tax than most other goods.

Well, we can make a huge joke about the war in Iraq, but I don't think many people on here would find it quite so funny. I will admit, it was rather clever, but not my cup of tea. ;)

On a serious note it is for safety so

SPARE NO EXPENSE!!

As far as the bridges go, Let them fall in. people who are so anti tax will go over the edge . Look... It takes money to fix problems. If we can afford several 1$ BILLION dollar Stealth bombers to fight a cold war that is over, then we may need to justify spending money to fix a few bridges.:thumbsup:
