Believe me I wish they did. But with a large amount of people driving in company lease cars,
these people will never protest because they don't have to pay for gas.
Well that's what they think of course because in the end we all pay extra.
Everything goes up, the companies want more and more profet.. Well you get the idea...

@rwgregory

@Mats

After you are done being french-fried out in the desert, you will find New York is a great place to see. Manhatten rocks, unless you suddenly alone on the subway..wearing a bright yellow winter jacket like a retard when everyone else has light clothing because its kinda warm out...and every movie featuring getting mugged on the subway starts flashing back in the mind..

Seriously, I really liked NY. Empire State, Statue of Liberty, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, USS Intrepid aircraft carrier, etc. It was really neat to go to such famous places that so many people have visited over the years. See as much of it as you can, it is all worth it.

so how much is diesel over there......its atleast 10-20cents more than the gasoline around here. yup Im paying more for the by-product of gasoiline production than people driving gas vehicles.
Im gonna start makin BioDiesel for about .70Cents a gallon to hell with the petrolium companies.

In Sweden diesel is about 10% lower than gas at a gas station. The diesel fuel is actually higher but as it is lower taxes on diesel it is cheaper to buy for the consumer.
Gas about $6.00 a gallon.
Diesel about $5,40 a gallon.

OK, how much does it cost to rent a tanker? 50 million gallons bought at $2.18/gallon and sold at $6.36/gallon makes a gross profit of $209,000,000.00.
