Freedguy MOVE ................why I am 4th generation on this property, got the 6th running around. Just as simple to kick the Fruits and Nuts out of this great state. I am enjoying the 100 degrees today with no humidity. And bigger than all that I am allergic to snow and cold.
If the property taxes go up to where it costs more than acreage makes they will force me to move. So I am looking at where I would go but no climate that compares.

So you expect that people should move to a different state, away from family, friends and everything they have known their whole life, to save money? I know some states have a high cost of living (NY is one), but home is home. I may pay more in taxes, but I have absolutely no plan to move anywhere else.

Put this in perspective, a Truck brings fuel to stations, those trucks are no different than the fleets I see cannibalizing their machines to keep a majority moving, manufacturers have moved to Light Duty switches working on Can Bus type theory multiple module electronics where a common old style HD switch will not suffice and is no realistic way to hardwire the components as twenty years ago. Leads into a point MORE machines dead with COMMON cause failures and NO PARTS, so NO FUELS. Does NOT matter what price the fuel sales can exact should they NOT be able to acquire fuels to sell.
Spoke on this earlier this spring and the Libtards here scoffed it off, welcome to Reality.

Found an interesting article...
Once again, gas prices are on the rise. Along with pain at the pump, the costly increase comes with consumer frustration, extensive news coverage, and plenty of fodder for late night talk show hosts and politicians alike. Here in the beer world, we've seen a recent surge in graphics, t-shirts, and signs emblazoned with the witty saying, "Beer – Now Cheaper than Gas. Drink Don't Drive." While we certainly appreciate the clever wording we couldn't help but wonder how much truth there is to the claim. Our research shows that it all depends on what you're drinking and how that beer came to be. The price of gas has already risen by 44 cents per gallon since December, and this past week the national average in the U.S. was $3.72 - 40 cents higher than a year ago, 15 cents higher than the price the previous week and 28 cents away from matching the United States' all-time high of $4.05 (on a national average basis). According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 80 percent of the cost that an American consumer pays accounts for crude oil and refining, while 10 percent of the cost covers distribution and marketing and the remaining 10 percent is taxes. In many European countries, taxes are close to 50 percent and prices at the pump are nearly double. Beer is a different story. When you compare the cost of homebrew to the price of beer purchased in a bar or at a store, the difference is substantial. Approximately 3 percent of the money you pay for a commercial beer covers the ingredients and production, while the rest is for packaging, marketing, and distribution. Regardless of who's doing the brewing, ingredients for a super hoppy double IPA are going to cost about twice as much as the ingredients for something like a blonde ale or cream ale, made with just a single base malt. More complex beers sometimes calI for multiple kinds of specialty grains and an over abundance of hops, further increasing the production costs. This is why craft beers are obviously priced much higher than macro lagers. No matter how you look at the costs, there are far more variances than there are consistencies. With all of these variables to consider, we decided to stick to what we know and use some real life homebrew and commercial beer examples for the sake of comparison. Here’s what we came up with: In conclusion, if (and only if) you're brewing your own malty beer with well sourced ingredients - beer is cheaper than gas. If you have a draft system, a ½ keg of non-craft beer may soon be about the same price as gas. If you have a draft system and you're buying ½ kegs of the good stuff, gas will likely always be way cheaper than your beer. Guess that's the price you pay for being a snob. Bottled and canned beers are not likely to ever be cheaper than buying gas. If it even gets close, driving will be a privilege reserved for the very rich. We won't call anyone out on their claims, as the statement can technically be true - we just thought it was an issue worth exploring. |

$1.399 x 3.78 (liters per gallon) = $5.29 (Canadian) x .81 (today's exchange rate) = $4.28 per gallon US. I guess our gas prices aren't that bad, when compared to the rest of the world. By the way gemdozer, I live about 70 miles from Montreal - Go Habs !!!

Payed 4.16 on Sunday. Yesterday the gas tax had 6 cent increase. Just because politicians never have enough money to waste. This was part of a carbon tax enacted several years ago to save the world. Media says this is for road repair. Which is needed but bike lanes and walking trails are now part of roads.
