On top of "because they can" Caltrans now said that because they have so many engineers on staff with nothing to do they will be using some of the new gas tax money for environmental studies mainly to see what effect "global warming" has on asphalt and concrete.
Here's a idea, why dont you use if for what you told the tax payer you said it would be used for!
It is the same fuel, however there is no road tax or sales tax added to home heating fuel. The average price for #2 home heating fuel in Wisconsin last week was $2.55. The price for #2 on road fuel ranged between $2.43 and $3.07. The average was about $2.52. The price of diesel fuel for on road vehicles also includes $.57 federal and state taxes. That brings the price of the fuel down to $1.95 per gallon. So essentially in Wisconsin you are paying more for home heating fuel than diesel fuel for your car or truck.
The sad part is the home heating oil dealers are considering the difference as a "delivery charge". The same thing happened a couple years ago with propane. If you went to the dealer and had a tank filled it was $1.94 a gallon. If you had it delivered to your home it was $3.09 a gallon.
