The American Petroleum Institute estimates the resulting additional federal tax on gasoline will be $1.70 per gallon. (Various other estimates range from a low of $1.55/gallon to $2.20/gallon). Using this number, at 15,000 miles per year, driving a car attaining current CAFE average mpg, we consumers face an additional $925 per year in federal gasoline taxes. Our utility bills are projected to increase substantially (estimates vary from 45% to 80%). This doesn't just land in the consumers lap. These increases are all the way through the supply chain. So, in addition to the grand per vehicle in additional fuel tax, and another $1500 for utilities in town, $650 at the lake, $650 for the boat fuel, another $450 fuel tax for the jet skis, PLUS a 20% increase, as we saw last year, in beer prices, 16% in food prices, just pause for a moment and imagine how much more money is going to fill the trough for the greedy pigs to buy more underprivileged votes. US drivers travel 3 trillion miles annually, current fleet average at 20 mpg, yields an additional $255,000,000,000 (merely BILLIONS) on gas and diesel ONLY. Add in the results from the electricity and NG increases, and see how many more "voters" ACORN can reach.
