I think gasoline should be heavily taxed everywhere, like it is in Europe. Driving big SUV's (and tax-breaks that encourage their use), an ever-declining CAFE, and relaxed emission regulations are all wrong. My 2 pesos.
Ditto James!!!

I pay more than Americans do (gas is taxed more here)..and I don't mind a bit, I think it should be even higher.

Said Ginger, some time ago ...

gas runs at $0.86 CDN per litre. There are 3.68 US gallons per litre, so thats $3.27 CDN per gallon, converted over using today's Bank of Canada exchange rate, that means gas up here is sitting at a wopping $ 2.35 per gallon.
... today I get $2.69 US.... wow!
Still, the full price we pay here, is about the same as the tax-free price, about half of the pump price, we used to get in Switzerland, with diplomatic cards.

filtered breathers, borla exuast, etc in 02'. Got the kit on to spray the bottle but I hadn't used it in over a year. All that for nothing now.
