With their chintzy pouring, that bottle will produce seven servings. The legislature and the governor have decided how to finance the rebuilding of our sorry highways - increase the sales tax on both gasoline and diesel fuel by 3 cents. It sounds fair but isn't because it puts too much of the load on Arkansas motorists, who use more gasoline than any other people in America. They drive 17,405 miles a year as compared to the national average of 12,028 miles, and they will have to pay 21.6 cents per gallon, the highest tax rate of any adjoining state. The increase in diesel will still keep our tax below 22 other states, including 10 with diesel taxes from 27 to 30 cents a gallon.
Truckers have better lobbyists than motorists.
