the problem is gas tax is over a dollar a gallon so gas can't really go much cheeper</quote><br />

Utah adds 31.1¢ to a gallon of fuel (<url href="https://tax.utah.gov/fuel/rates" option="https://tax.utah.gov/fuel/rates">Link</url>) and the Feds add 18.4¢ to gasoline and 24.4¢ to diesel (<url href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_taxes_in_the_United_States#Federal_taxes" option="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_taxes_in_the_United_States#Federal_taxes">Link</url>). That's a total of 49.5¢ added to the actual cost of gasoline and 55.5¢ added to the actual cost of diesel. You can argue the value to the country at those rates, but it isn't even close to being over a dollar. </size></font></color>
</quote>And in Wyoming the state tax is just 24 cents a gallon. No state income tax either. I'd retire there except 6 months of winter is too long for me.<br />
The U.S storage of oil is now completely full. Prices should be about a buck a gallon for the next 3-4 months but they won't.<br />
