Gas price question?

Question

Do politicians pay the same prices as we do on gas or do they get discounts?

Answer 1

discounted gas prices, lol. No such thing. politicians get paid by tax dollars which come from gas prices which come from their influence, you do the math.

Answer 2

it think they pay the same but gas will go down soon

Answer 3

Police officers and government agencies for government use don't pay taxes, and therefore get a discount. Makes since since if they paid taxes they are the government and would be paying them self in the end. Politicians pay the pump prices, unless they own a station and pay the 5 cents less to pay wholesale cost.

Stop blaming people for our problems!

Look around you, what do you see? Waste.

When you are sitting in the drive thru at the bank, waiting for 15 minutes before your turn, what is your car doing? Idling.

When it is cold in the morning what do you do with your car? Idle it to make it warm.

When you just run in the store for a minute, the car is idle!

If we all made changes in our own personal lives, everyone of us, we would save millions of gallons of gas. It is unnecessary to idle cars and burn gas at 0MPG. It lessens the life of your car, increases emissions, and make a bigger demand for gas.

The bigger the demand, the higher the prices! Buy oil that you can change every 35,000 miles. Changing your oil every 3,000 uses unnecessary oil and also adds to the demand.

Electric at your home uses oil, or coal in many electric power plants for burning or transportation. Unplug all your electronic when you're not using them and you will save a tremendous amount of energy. Yes electronics use power when turned off, some use a lot of wasteful power.

Answer 4

Well that depends on who you ask. But I believe that they get discounted gas. Because, lets face it. The major oil companies reported RECORD BREAKING profits last year.... Wonder why... They rape the PUBLIC.

Answer 5

they are the gas prices

Answer 6

They usually drive government owned vehicles.  The gas is paid for using a government credit card.

I doubt they actually pump the gas.  They have their driver do it.

They never see the bill so they don't care.

Answer 7

Huh? They don't drive-they are the problem. They all use limo's and the tax payers(you and I) pay for their gas.

Answer 8

Government vehicles can access gasoline depots for those vehicles, so they dno't pay street price, but that's because the government buys so much fuel.  If a politician pulls up to a pump at a station like you or me, he pays the same we do.

Answer 9

The government (basically us with our taxes) pays their gas expenses so they don't care.
