    If no cars on the road then they will be forced to cut highway taxes on the gasoline soon! LOL

    Believe it or not i found heating oil for $1.16gal here in south jersey. Unfortunately I filled our house tank a few weeks ago at $1.38gal. Thinking about throwing an extra tank I have up next to the shop and getting it filled too. I can't tell ya the last time i saw oil this low.

    Highway diesel is still in the low $2 range

    To be fair, the gas tax is what maintains the roads (at least around here). They are always behind on that, but can only work within the budget - so cutting the gas tax when the budget is already taking a huge hit is very unlikely.

    About $1.85 here for gasoline. Kinda check oil prices I suppose even though we don't use it.
