That's a good point, but I still could not see filling up my Excursion
with it's 45 gallon tank, or my M51 with it's 100 gallon tanks at $7 or
$8 /gallon. That could amount to an easy $650 to fill up my dump truck.
How can that work, even in Europe? I mean how much does it cost to
have a 20 ton load of driveway rock hauled 30 miles? For instance. It
must be ridiculous, unless the tax is waived for commercial trucks? Is it?
And if gas costs that much due to tax, what about electricity? Is that
50 cents per KWHR??
