[200q20v] gas prices - can we help keep them down?

[Edward J Kellock]

I will not!

The differences in gas prices between here and other parts of the world
are completely contrived by governmental forces, on both sides of the
issues.  If you take away the taxes on fuel, the base cost of fuel is in
about
the same ballpark for you and I.  You're government is simply getting
away
with more of your money than ours.  The comparisons of gas prices between

one country's system of taxation and another are completely invalid.

In the case of our recent soaring gas prices, the taxes haven't changed.
In fact the govt has been urged to roll back taxes to help the consumer.
So in our case, it's the gas companies that are gouging us.
