I know what you mean about state taxes on fuel. I can cross the line into SC and both gas and diesel are both at elast 20 to 30 cents lower than here in NC. When your often talking about less than a mile between stations, many, many people will drive that extra mile to save a few dolars on every fill up. Personally I live too far from the line for it to be profitable for me to do unless I happen to be in the area. Then with my service truck I have to pay back the difference in the tax for any fuel I by outside of NC and then use in NC (Thanks to IFTA). That being the case I have to be really careful not to buy unless the price difference is larger than the tax difference or I wind up paying more in the end.
Funny thing about the whole mess is that I'd just about guartantee that if NC would lower their tax and get prices inline with SC we would reap the rewards of alot more money not leaving out state in the way of fuel as well as in sales tax for other items bought. Given that the fuel tax is supposed to be used towards road building, etc, for every mile driven on our roads that no tax is paid for it costs the state dearly. If a large part of that money could be recouped along with even more in other sales taxes, it only makes sense to do something about it........Guess the fact that it makes sense is the reason it hasn't been done yet......

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
