When you consider whats involved to make a gallon of gas, really its not all that bad, you guys are spoiled !!

Start with drilling and pumping, transportation to a refinery. Those refinerys don't come cheep eather, seperating the crude oil into Tar, Heavy Lube, Light lube, Stove Oil, Diesel Oils, Gasolines, Solvants etc. etc.........
Then you have the additives that are essential to gasoline, the quality testing before it goes into storage tanks. Then it's transported to distribution points eather by truck or pipeline, then trucked to local service stations where we gripe about Two Dollars a gallon price !!

But, you same guys don't have a second thought about going in the convience store and buying bottled water for the equivelent of 4-5 dollars a gallon !!

One would think........
It will be a cold day in HE!! when gas is cheaper than water !!

Welcome to He!!.

Now, if you want to talk about taxes on gas and water, thats political...........

I won't go there, that would really urinate me off !!
