I've lived in PA most of my life. I've actually gotten my car stuck in a pot hole once.
I've lived in PA my entire life, driven on the roads for 42, & luckily haven't gotten "stuck" in a pot hole...yet
However like every else driving here, I've HIT thousands of them, as most are unavoidable. And I've passed a number of cars over the years sitting just beyond pot holes, with blown tires & broken rims. Clearly PA roads are doing their part keep the Tie Rod manufactures in business.
And a recent audit revealed that the Gov "transferred" $2Billion of PA gas tax money to the State Police
(pension fund) Apparently he felt that was more important than using the gas tax for it's intended purpose of fixing potholes & crumbling bridges.
Yesterday I went out for milk & bread...
Our generous local gas stations finally lowered the price this week a whole "
4" cent's
Now standing at
$2.05 everywhere except SAMS that dropped from $2.01 to $1.92
Before all this started, gas around here used to sell about 15-20 cents above RBOB+$0.77Taxes
For the last month that margin has increased to 70-90 cents/gallon above march & april rbob+tax contracts. When rbob dropped from $1.65 to $0.55 they dropped the price at the pump from $2.55-$2.59 down to $2.09, & stayed there for a month.
