\nHere\u2019s a photo (taken this morning) of one such service station along a
\nnearby Georgia route where the average low-test gallon price range is around $4.30.<\/p>\n
We here in the Empire have been treated to lowered gas prices for some time, since our state leaders passed a gasoline tax holiday almost three months ago.<\/p>\n

So, it was with wry amusement I watched our beloved PresBid beg Congress on national TV yesterday to do the same for the piddly-assed Federal version of those taxes.<\/p>\n
All I could do was silently say \u201cWow.\u201d At $.18 per gallon, that\u2019d rack up some serious savings nationally like $72 vice $75 for the weekly 15-gallon tank refill. All told for the proposed 3-month long rebate period that\u2019d rack up $36 per family car. Almost enough to take the family to Arby\u2019s for Waygu Beef burgers, fries and Cokes.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile we watch the DC folks crawl to Saudi Arabia to bail us out and berate and threaten US oil companies.<\/p>\n
Yeah, that\u2019ll fix America\u2019s oil supply and refining issues.<\/p>\n
Off in the distant background we\u2019re hearing David Bowie croon:<\/p>\n
Still don’t know what we were waiting for
\nAnd our time is running wild, a million dead-end streets and
\nEvery time we thought we had it made
\nIt seemed the taste was not so sweet
\nSo we turned ourselves to face us
\nBut we’ve never caught a glimpse
\nOf how the others must see our faker
\nWe\u2019re much too fast to take that test<\/p>\n
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
\nCh-ch-changes, don’t want to be richer men
\nCh-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
\nCh-ch-changes, just gonna have to be different men
\nTime may change us
\nBut he can’t trace time<\/p>\n
Oh yeah<\/p>\n
