that sounds like obama talk. you have to do better than a flat comparison like that.
first taxes. us tax per gallon is 11% compared to 70%
second, increase from a year ago, which in the us is 37% compared to 15%
the us would increase more, but demand has gone down.
a better comparison is the price per barrel in dollars which has increased 98% in one year.
compare 98% to 15% franny. that's the true comparison. it's the value of the dollar, plain and simple.
