IIRC, taxes on gas before the GST even are like 40% of the price.
Am I right?
EDIT - year after year, we have BILLIONS in surpluses that aren't always allocated to a certain cause / causes. Surely getting rid of ONE of the gas taxes would enable us to have a lower pump price.
Heck, we could follow the Americans who have done the right thing for once (in Hawaii) and cap the price of gas for 6 months at a set rate. Then revisit the rate in 6 months' time.
