Unless we drill for more, build some more refinerys and find other ways to replace fuel we use to heat and power our homes all the protest inthe world will not do a thing

I agree with you on finding other means -- but --- if we don't speak up(protest) we will still be "sheep".

Here is the news story:

Bikers protest over fuel prices

Up here in Canuck Land we are paying 4.75 per U.S. gal.(1.35 x 3.5 litres) for high test. That's in Alberta where we have about the cheapest price in Canada. Alot of our cost is taxes of course. Rumor has it will only get worse.

Sorry I looked up the conversion from metric to imperial and it is 3.8 litres per U.S. gallon, so our price for high test in Canada is (1.35 x 3.8=5.13) $5.13 a gallon. This is why I'm traveling thru the U.S. to Ontario, Canada. Plus I may pick up a few parts along the way.

well we worked it out in uk if we put £10 ($20) we pay almost £6 ($12) in tax alone then there is a small amount to the station and rest goes to the fuel supplier

How high will taxes go before you become the United States of England? Can you say revolution?
