Today gas has dropped to $3.48 a gallon in Jackson MS.
Bill said he was paying 4.25 on the west coast.
Over 60 cents of the 4.25 went to taxes and an extra 20 cents on the gallon because as Bill said it's the West Coast.
We all pay a federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon. The state goverments add taxes of all sorts for roads and are hurting because we have been buying less.
Mississippi adds only 18 cents tax. NC adds 26.6 and PA adds 31.1 tax.
With the price of a barrel is still up there and the price at the pump dropping, makes one wonder who controls the pump prices. And where does the adage of price and demand fit in?
