In Bristol, IN. diesel has been running parallel to premium grade gasoline in price per gallon for a couple of months now, 20 cents per gallon more than regular, 10 cents more than mid-grade. Not bad for a byproduct of gasoline. But I hear that diesel's very popular in European vehicles, so by demand, we payup to the gasoline manufactures, or lose out to foriegn competition. Solution? Bio-fuels that can be grown right here on American farms that are much cheaper to produce and run cleaner, if you can get our Congress and Senate out of the pockets of the oil companies, and stop dragging their feet and stifling production and refining of bio-fuels, in essence, killing it to line their pockets with oil stained greenbacks.

Below someone mentioned SUVs in Mass. I read an article that says that Mass. is preparing legislation to impose a $750 "ANNUAL" tax on SUVs because of the "disproportionate amount of road repairs they cause compaired to such vehicles as Yugos, gas/battery hybrids such as Hondas and Toyotas, etc". In Elkhart County, IN. where I live, they've already imposed a $25 annual "wheel tax" on ALL mortorized vehicles, because they say that those little gas/battery hybrid things get such good milage, that less revenue is being generated at the pump (taxes), and now what to put another 7 or 8% tax on fuels on top of that. The roads have more potholes than ever before the "wheel tax" (there is no road maintenance) came to be, and no politician can explain where the "wheel tax" went to that was supposed to cover the road maintenance, so the friggin morons want to raise taxes again.
