    The reason it hurts the "poor schlubs" is a combination of supply and demand followed by having general taxation picking up the tab for energy externalities. What should have happened is proper fuel taxes (paying for military costs, health effects etc), road pricing (weight x distance ~= road use) and reducing the Standard Mileage Rate from 55 1/2 cents per mile to something more realistic.

    Anal-retentiveness in the service of grammar is no sin. :D

    I attribute my lack of grammar in that post to two things: 1. I was influenced by the low-brow grammar skills of the other UD posters, and 2. I was caught up in the moment. Ordinarily, I can be relied upon for my superior grammar skills. Not unlike in this here post right now.
