who do you think will benefit from this

[scrappy]

instead of banning the 8 cent per gallon gas tax in alaska, our house of reps decided they would give $1200 for each person who was eligible for the PFD to offset the gas prices.

what do they know that we don't yet? 8 cents less would take us down to $4.31 a gallon right now. who knows what it will be in a few months. barrel prices went down but our gas prices haven't.

i dont think that $1200 is going to do a whole lot. i'm sure everyone will end up with a new tv or something they don't need. but the catch is, if our PFD's turn out over 3K the $1200 is just and "advance". how can it be an advance if it's being offered?

$4.31 :shock:

It is $3.60 here.

yeah we are getting hosed since the oil to make the gas starts here. Damn non state refineries. what moron never figured it would be a smart idea to have more than 3 oil tank farms in the state to make gas here instead of paying to get it out of the state and back in.

some parts of alaska it's already $10/gal and hasn't moved in the last month.

i did see a sign yesterday showing $4.36/gal so i might have to fill up tomorrow
