@LLcoolK So taxes aren't that bad. Oregon tax of over a buck. And gas came down since a few weeks ago. I was just there a few weeks back. Over $6 a gal.

@Livingwell Total tax burden of $1.27-$1.32 per gallon isn't bad? Enjoy your blue state gasoline taxes in Oregon. We're paying $2.55/gal in TX. Several major news outlets including ABC, NBC and CNN reported that gas prices are at a 4 year low.

@LLcoolK says Enjoy your unforcasted floods in Texas.
