Keep your hands out of my wallet!

Tax on miles driven - Government would track your travel

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 6 May 11

drknlvly6781 @drknlvly6781 (6246) • United States 11 Jun 09

Suspending Gas Tax over the Summer-Will this help?

Pitgull @Pitgull (1522) • United States 30 Apr 08

If the gas tax is suspended over the summer, that will keep you from paying the tax on your gas. But that doesn't lower the price of the gas. If anything, gas prices might go even higher. Considering there is no cap on gas prices,...
