gas prices

I don't know about the other 49 states, but Pennsylvanians would be surprised if they knew what the price was for state owned vehicles. Pennsylvania is undergoing tax increases on fuel to repair our bridges and roads. The first phase has already been doled out and the second increase is soon to kick in. Otherwise, we wold have very low gas prices. By early 2017, we will have added $0.25 cents per gallon making us number one in the nation with gas taxes. This will total at least 60-cents per gallon in taxes passing California.

I liked being number one, but could do without this one.
 

Is it better to have low gas prices and no COLA? I guess it depends on if you drive a lot.. If you don't.. this doesn't amount to a hill of beans..

I suppose one could argue that lower gas prices will be reflected in the cost of goods... ya know... trickle down... hahahahaha

Interesting how, as the groups age the men drive more miles than the ladies. In the teen years, the ladies drive almost as much as the men. By the time we get to 65+, men are doing the most significant share of the driving. I guess it takes the ladies quite a while to learn the Good Lord meant for them to be behind the sink or the vacuum cleaner... not the steering wheel!!! :>) (Please do NOT allow my beautiful wife to see THAT comment!!!)

Over the years, I have ticketed as many females as I have males for speeding. It has to be within a +or- 2% margin of difference. However, more males then females have had violent crashes due to drinking or using other substances and speeding. I made an arrest of a 19 year old driver going 108 in a 70 mph zone on the PA Turnpike. He was driving a new Mustang and told me that he didn't think that I would chase him because he was always told by his friends that the cops won't chase a driver just for speeding because of putting others in harm's way. I told him that the next time he sees his friends to tell them that they are wrong and you have the citation to prove it. I also told him that his friends may help him to pay his fine. (Yeah, that'll happen.)
