I don't have any local stations with 93 so I have to settle for 91. I will be stopping to fill up at Costco on my way home and I can't wait to see how cheap this tank will be! My last Costco fill up about 2 weeks ago was $2.05 for 91 which may be the reason I was not very nice to my last tank

I confirmed your news but was encouraged that the Republican controlled congress will stomp it and that even HC is waffling on it even though she will more than likely make Obama a supreme court justice if elected. Has he even worked as an attorney in his life? Been in a courtroom other than the mock ones he was put in during his university gig? Get out and VOTE!
The tax was $10 per barrel, or about $0.25 per gallon. Big, surely, but not gigantic.
I am mixed on it, clearly, the world could do some good with more 'green' tech. Though, the entire earth runs on OIL and a price increase can do economic damage in a lot of ways.

The problem with going "green" is that it is almost invariably is more expensive than existing technology. If you are the only country following this path you put yourself at a severe cost disadvantage. Brazil put its' economy in a bad position for a very long time by trying to switch to bio fuels. With oil prices being relatively low (it's still about twice the price in non-inflationary adjusted dollars as when OPEC came into existence if I remember correctly), it would be cost prohibitive to switch now.

I'm OK with the tax if it's dedicated primarily to infrastructure construction & repairs (highways, bridges, etc).
This work needs to be done, and it needs to be paid for. Fuel tax is still the best way to fund it.
Especially now with low oil prices...

And no, I haven't found a single place in SD that sells 93. But let me know if you do!

Ask the average person in this state if they would like to live in California
And I'm guessing A large majority would say no.

Yeah, I don't mind paying extra for gas when it's sunny and 80 degrees in February.
