I have heard more whining about farmers from you than I hear farmers whining about fuel.

(not to mention burning the cheaper fuel)

Are you refering to the off road diesel? If so the only differance is that they do not pay the road tax that people putting it into road vehicles do. IMHO this is competely fair. If I go out to a field and burn up 500 gallons doing field work and have not touched a road, why should I have to pay for the destruction done by the semis etc to the road. This is why construction equipment also runs the dyed off road fuel.

Oil companies make big $$ but they also spend HUGE $$ to make it. As an example, here in Alaska BP spent over 1. 5 billion dollars on a recent development before they saw one penny in return. There are not too many other business (other than Aircraft builders I don't know of one) that make that kind of investment prior to seeing a penny in return.

The Oil Companies have learned the old IRS trick. Keep the people confused and they will not know they are paying too much, at least most of them. I will never agree with getting ripped off, however we do live in the greatest Country on the Planet. I have been to several other countries and in spite of all our faults and our need to improve we are by far the best.
