I was doing my IFTA fuel tax report the other night and something dawned on me. I know we're all upset over the high price of gas and fuel right now but I realized we've been getting screwed on the price for years. I haven't personally visited all 50 states but I'm gonna assume that the price everywhere is $X.XX.9 . Think about it, for ever gallon of gas you buy your getting screwed out of .1 cent because you know the government can't give back .1 cent because it simply doesn't exist. I don't know how much fuel is bought in the US every day but I'd be willing to bet there's a substantial amount of money being taken in by the government .1 cent at a time. I say drop the tenths of a cent crap and make it a whole cent and at least be honest about things. You know we're gonna pay it somehow no matter what, so the gov might as well be up front about it instead of sneaking in an added tax load (no matter how small) that we see no benifits for. Just my 2.9 cents worth..........
