Not sure where you got your figures, but the general idea is the same that I posted above.

"Lawmakers want to increase the current 8-cent-a-barrel tax on oil to make sure there is enough money available to respond to oil spills."

That's just one, the 5 cent per barrel is an old figure.

Either way your right it doesn't really matter. Your talking about making a $70 barrel of oil $70.32.

It could also be a trial balloon to see if we would pay .74 a gallon in TAX!

YES YES YeSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hunkie baby, he doesn't mean 76 cents per gallon. He means .76 of a cent. 3/4's of 1 cent, or .0076 cents per gallon.

People in EU must think we are tight wads. But I have no mass transit here. NONE.
