Stop in for a cup of coffee

Made me curious. About $.52 excise tax here and another 7%+ sales tax on top of that at the retail end. Many counties and cities have their own additional sales taxes. When I started makin' blacktop, our plant used diesel to fire the burner on the dryer to dry and heat the aggs before they were screened and batched for the addition of the oil. Diesel was an undesirable by-product to the refineries and they practically gave it away. Then the oil company accountants came up with the idea that they should be charging by the therm, price^^^^^^^. We got about 40K gallons free from the USAF when they were remodeling their onsite power plants to natural gas. Granted the diesel was old and had some crud in it, but the burner didn't care :lol: I did have to check the fuel filter about once a week though :lol:
