@unclemark don’t know. They’ll also charge a service fee. When my factory ships we can check a box to pay and pay right away. Then they stopped the tariffs for a bit. We kept shipping. Didn’t check the box. They deliver anyway. Then a week later bill the customer, I.e. the recipient of the goods. Mess. UPS would refuse delivery and make the customer pay to get it
Utah Senator Mike Lee today:
The gas tax was introduced to build interstates and they are now built! Let the states maintain their portion of the interstate highway system. We should repeal the Federal gas tax NOW!
Utah Senator Mike Lee in 2022:
If he (Biden) suspends the gas tax, even for 3 months, it will spike inflation. Where will the money come from for states to maintain the interstates? It [Biden's proposal] is treacherous, it is wrong, and WE JUST CAN'T LET IT HAPPEN!

From the Hill article today on his '22 remarks.
“If he just suspends this gas tax for a period of three months — first of all, he would end up extending the suspension before the midterms for the reasons you alluded to a minute ago — but even if it were just three months, there’s a lot of revenue that still has to — we still have to pay for the upkeep and the maintenance of our interstate transportation network,” Lee said on Fox News’s “The Faulkner Focus” with Harris Faulkner.
“Our interstate system. So, where’s that money going to come from, Harris? We’re just going to have to borrow more of it, effectively printing more of it. You know what that does? That spikes inflation even more. That’s why this is treacherous. This is wrong, and we can’t let it happen,” he added.
It looks like this time around he's saying let the states pay for the upkeep vs. in '22 when he thought it would still fall on the federal gov't. I'd be OK with that. States should stop sending money to the Leviathan for things they could and/or should be doing themselves and they can't print money either.

Gas prices jumped $2.00 and people think an 18 cent drop will make a difference? Prices here in the People's Republic have fluctuated that much from one day to the next since this shit started.
