Sharing with you, information on oil

Yes! Still a very interesting article.

Wouldn't it be nice to be taxed on the total amount versus per gallon. So if you get $50 worth of gas you pay, say 8%, so you end up paying $54, instead of $.63 a gallon totaling about $57.87 a gallon. I wonder why it is the only commodity that is taxed per unit instead of overall cost?
