They figure a few years back we were paying $1.00 a gallon more, the price went down so they could take more on each gallon and it wouldn't hurt us. Multiple problems, don't take my comments wrong I don't like paying taxes but with inflation the taxes they collect on each gallon have a real value that is a lot less than it was years ago. Combine that with the mandate for more fuel efficient vehicles and you can understand the bind they are in. I don't know what the actual miles driven each year has done, increased or decreased? But with the Feds passing laws that say vehicles have to use less fuel while states are trying to pay for roads by taxing gasoline and diesel I can see a problem, vehicles that use less fuel per mile are gong to drive more miles on each gallon. This equates to more use supported by the same revenue. Unless they operate like a business that uses new technology or methods to become more productive the idea of doing more with the same amount of revenue AND covering inflationary costs you're going to be in a bind. The only way to counteract this is vigilance at the ballot box, don't vote for politicians because they offer free stuff, support those who want to restrict the power and growth of government, and if they're not supporting YOUR interests elect someone else .

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
