Murph Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 I've always heard it was taxes, and they also have to have special formulas due to the California EPA rules. Here in Southern Illinois, the taxes are higher than in Kentucky, so people cross the Ohio river and buy gas in Kentucky, and the potheads in Kentucky cross the river to come over here and buy legal pot, so Illinois gets the lost gas tax money back through pot taxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it state and local taxes? Sin taxes ? I would assume it would be the taxes. But I get in trouble for assuming things 😂. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works out to around $5.50 US per US gallon. And that, of course, is not what our friends in Europe and other areas pay! "I got GAS....." 🙂 Fred almost 8 bucks a US gal actually, was almost 9 and will be again I think, glad Im retired and only go where and when I want, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I paid $2.44 a litre here the other day and really appreciate my little old BMW 1.8 litre 4 cylinder motor! Yep! A guy at the next pump with a big Pontiac, unsure the model but it looked like an elongated Camaro, well he looked he was about to cry and his mate with a big Toyota Truck and big fishing boat did some complaining! It is just more criminal activity, isn’t it? We get oil from off our coast and the rest from the arabs, not Russia. I think. BluesKing777.

I fill 'er up on one gallon of gas and get around 100 miles out of it lol. Edited March 19, 2022 by Sevendaymelee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
