Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 As of three days ago, the reported average cost of gasoline in the U. S. was $2.56 per gallon. In California, it's now $4.27. In California, this represents an increase of over 40% from this time last year. Oh - but "it's mostly due to the increase in driving since Covid restrictions have been lifted!" or "it ALWAYS goes up in the summer!" we're told. We are a country of idiots. Well... no... we are a country of citizens whose "duly elected leaders" consider to be idiots. They'll learn... they'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 In Tennessee, sales tax in my county is close to 10%. Tennessee taxes almost everything: products, most food, and most services. But, no income tax here. I paid about 10% income tax when I lived in California, in addition to federal income tax, in addition to California Sales tax. Car registration here is about $32 per vehicle per year, and that includes the "convenience" fee for paying on line instead of driving to the court house to pay in person (about an hour round trip and 3 gallons of gas). So the extra $3 is a convenience I guess. Honestly, I am glad I left California and moved to the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know three families headed your way from California this month.

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Got gas in the hamster-mobile this morning@ $2.84/gal.. Proceeded to go into town, most stations were seen at $2.99/gal. Gent I talked with at the station said he had seen some farther up north in the city at $3.09! This is for 87 octane reg. gas. I figured we would be at $3.00 a gallon by July 4th, hate it when I'm right like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I don't know what the taxes are on gasoline in Florida. I do know that non-ethanol gas a WaWa's is $3.60 per gallon. I just filled up the 10 - 5 gallon cans (after the hurricane generator) + a 2 gallon can (lawn equipment) with it for a grand total of $189. I usually fill up at the end of May at the beginning of hurricane season but I decided to wait until prices came down a bit....they didn't. If nothing happens between now and the end of hurricane season in November, I'll be putting WAY over priced gas in my vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Especially true for Pards that live in "blue" socialist/leftist/liberal states...that are run by those that have broken their oath of office. More reasons, in a rapidly growing list of reasons to: 1. Vote...every time, and get your family/friends/fellow churchgoers/co-workers/those that dislike you, to vote. 2. Run for office yourself. Kick out the bums, and fix it yourself. 3. Get in involved in local politics...by volunteering, and attending meetings, so you can make your voice heard, and opinions heeded. There is an old saying... if you eat...you are involved in 1. agriculture, and 2. politics. GitRDone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
