So how do you relate free health care to gas taxes.
The gas tax is for road repair only.
Perhaps you should check your source's because their wrong.

1) I remember after 9/11 (2001), for at least a few months, gas dropped a lot. I thought for a while there it would go UNDER $1/gallon as I remember paying like $1.08. Wonder what caused that?
2) Somebody mentioned parking their F350 here. There is a guy here at work that has a 65 Lincoln and said with this gas price, it will not see the road again. But think of it this way, if you go 15 miles, it cost you maybe an extra 60 cents only. So keep driving it if you like it. Don't mis-understand me though, I don't like paying an extra $15 to fill-up either.
3) Gas prices in other countries..............is so high because they tax the heck out of it to support their huge social programs. I'll pay $3/gallon if I get completely free medical benefits and other perks

I am not supporting the gas prices going up. I get frustrated just like majority of people. I have changed my driving habits to get better fuel mileage out of my vehicles. I paid $3.05 a gallon for diesel today. Had I filled up an hour earlier, it would of cost .02 less. I remember the 1970s and what America went through during that time period. Back then, we had to change our attitudes and could only get fuel on certain days. We are not doing that today. Cars then were only getting maybe 7-10 mpg and were by today's standard's gross polluters. Part of today's problem is China is a developing country and their fuel consumption is going up. I forget the exact numbers, but in a few years, they will be using more fuel, then us. In a way, I am glad we are not drilling in Alaska. Why? someday, we will need all our resources and won't be dependant on foreign oil like we are now. So, let's use their resources up and save ours "For that Rainy day" As long as we keep China from buying one of our major oil companies, we will be alright. When they tried to purchase Unoco. They said they would not take any oil that the company produced from within the US territory. So what, that meant only 17% of the oil would stay here. What about the other 83%? it would go to China[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Along with all the top secret military technology the company holds. Like I said, think outside your box. Also, I have traveled the world and lived overseas. I definately appreciate what we have in this Great Country[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Socialized medicine = Long waits to see a doctor or have procedures done, lower quality of doctors and nurses because of capped income and poor working condition, bureaucracy makes any program cost more, slow technology. Socialized medicine is simply NOT effective.

In 30-40 years almost everyone will be driving hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and modern compression ignition engines will be run on B100 bio fuel. Fossil fuel demand will likely slowly drop off in 5 years or so and continue with more and more hybrids. It will drasticly drop off as hydrogen fuel cell technology becomes affordable and is under the hood of most common econo cars, vans, and some trucks.
I would imagine that most larger equipment will keep the compression ignition engine but most will run off B100.

The problem with hydrogen is that it isn't even close to being efficiently produced. I do agree, it will eventually be more commonplace, but not in the next 5 years. It is also very unstable. I, for one, am certainly not ready to strap the wife and kids into a hydrogen car yet.

hydrogen is alot safer than yout hink, its not like sitting in the Hindenberg, 1, that was a LONG time ago, when was hte last time you saw a "zepplin" other at the last air show? exactly
per gallon, hydrogen is currenly in liquid form about 5 dollars, 3 dollars in gas form.
